Portal do Fidalgo - Alvarinho - de Region de Mincao - 2007 - $17 - (Classic, Food Wine) - medium golden straw with gas. White currants, white flowers and their stems, gooseberry, apple, pear and lemon zest kick off a developed nose that boasts fractured white rocks dusted with rain sprinkles.
Dry and of high spritzy acidity. Orchard, goosebery and spiced pear lead the palate to herbal, floral and limestone notes. Medium-in body, but with a long mouthwatering finish.
We had it with Peaking duck, fresh favas, and roasted cauliflower over fried white rice. A bit of a stretch...
About Me
- Eric C. Maczko
- I've been part of Pine Ridge Winery's Culinary Staff for 7 years. In 2003 I took over the Executive Chef Position and have been pairing food and wine together in a creative environment every day since. I am a Certified Sommelier through The Court of Master Sommeliers and hope to gain my Advanced in the coming year. My love of wine, food and literature are the fuel behind this little site and sharing my experience is my gift. Each year I take a little time to craft my own wine, so as to humble myself. It is a pleasure to sample the hard work and dedication of these so many talented wine professionals.
