cheeses

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!
