This wine has a bright and clear yellow color. On the nose, intense citrus aromas give way to resinous notes of Encruzado. In the mouth, the acidity is enveloped by the elegant texture of the wood, resulting in a rich, intense, full and deep wine. Quinta da Alameda Torreão Branco is the perfect companion to Portuguese gastronomy, a wine that enchants with its balance and character.
