Tasting note: "As uvas de Terrantez Nao as comas nem as des Para vinho Deus as fez"
"The Terrantez grapes neither eat them nor give them away, for wine God made them"
Orange golden colour. Great sweet refined nose of beeswax, dried apricots, honey and orange peel. Mouth filling taste, semi-sweet with nice acidity behind. On the after taste a lingering dried fruit with slight grapefruit bitterness and mandarin fruit. A great wine! Tasted September 2013 E.V.
