Alves de Sousa - Quinta Da Gaivosa Porto Blanc 10 ans d'âge (50cl)
Portugal
White
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
Very complex on the nose, with herbaceous and spicy notes, as well as aromas of dried orange peel, maple syrup and almonds. Full-bodied and refined by ageing, the palate of Quinta Da Gaivosa Porto blanc presents nuances of marmalade, caramel and nuts. A good Roquefort will be its ideal companion!
