Apr 11th, 2021From a region that had 3000ha planted in 1930s, now 18ha--amidst a deluge of residential and commercial sprawl outside Lisbon. Own-rooted malvasia in sandy soils. Westernmost appellation in continental Europe planted right on Atlantic. By a foundation dedicated to saving this wine heritage. What *doesn't* this wine offer? Stunning salinity, slightly oxidative, ripping minerality, generous and outrageous.
