The Alentejo - literally "beyond the Tagus River" - is the wine region that runs from Lisbon south to the Algarve region. It is often referred to as 'Portugal's California'.
This is where the Portuguese white wine Monte Velho Branco 2018, a fresh, fruity wine comes from, offering scents of cool tropical fruit. In the mouth, it turns out to be dry and soft, with touches of delicious pear and melon. Thanks to its beautiful minerality, it is an excellent accompaniment for fish dishes, seafood and pasta, but also for dishes based on pork and vegetarian dishes.

Monte Velho Branco 2018
Esporão Monte Velho white has a pale straw yellow color. The smell is mainly fruit pressing citrus and stone fruit that emerge. The taste is strong and well balanced fruit in which the protagonist. A particularly long aftertaste. Enjoyable gourmet wine from Portugal.

4.5/5
if I am brutally honest we enjoyed 2016 slightly more than 2017 but will look forward to 2018 with relish.

It was very fancy with Chinese food.
It was part of a Corporate gift.
