Casa Clara Monte da Capela Branco de Curtimenta Alentejo 2019

Description

This orange wine makes you smile with every sip. If you like your skin-fermented wines with a bit less extraction, with more balance & elegance... Then this is the one for you!

‘This is a skin macerated white from the Alentejo. It has a full yellow colour and a nose of honey, citrus, orange peel & spice. The palate is powerful, vivid, intense & concentrated with marmalade & lime flavours, juicy acidity, & a little bit of structure. I love the freshness & density here: it’s a really striking wine.’ (Jamie Goode)

Due to its extra tannin structure it is able to compete with spicy chorizo, lamb, aubergine, walnuts & tahini.
