Dao Indigena White, Adega de Penalva, 2023, Portugal

The 2023 Dao Indigena White is a lively mix of about 40% Encruzado, 30% Malvasia Fina, and 30% Cerceal Branco grapes, all hand-picked with care. Fermented in stainless steel or cement vats from granite-rich soils, this fresh blend skips the oak aging to keep things bright.

Pour a glass and enjoy its citrus yellow glow, bursting with playful aromas of tangerine, melon, Asian pear, quince, and a zesty hint of lime peel.
