JP Azeitão White 75cl. 2021

JP Azeitão White is a pale-yellow appearing wine crafted from Moscatel Graudo and Fernao Pires varietals. It has floral, fruity aromas of orange blossom, pineapple, and citrus. The wine is light-bodied and has good acidity, an elegant structure on the palate, leading to a long, persistent finish.

The wine can either be enjoyed on its own or paired with grilled white fish.
