Villa Palma  2016 Reserva Branco

Portuguese White (Palmela)

Deeply colored and golden, this wine shows its age at first glance. However, its dynamically youthful aromas deliver an unexpected and impressive contrast in an enticing and complex mix of apricot pit, honeycomb and white flower blossom. Easy-going on the palate with no evident tannins, the wine morphs to show a compelling, waxy texture that lengthens the finish. The final touch of salty tang is delightful. Drink now–2021.
