A white wine from Portuguese soil. That guarantees we'll definitely enjoy it. Portugal has made waves with its Port wines, but when it comes to still red and white wines, it has always lagged behind the great, traditional wine-producing countries like Italy, Spain, and France. That's a real shame, because Portuguese wines are truly irresistible. This Dom Martinho White is living proof. A beautiful blend of indigenous grape varieties. And Portugal has those in abundance.
The composition of Dom Martinho White
This Dom Martinho White is made with three grape varieties grown exclusively in Portugal: Arinto, Antao Vaz, and Roupeiro. These aren't even familiar to the most discerning wine connoisseurs, but we challenge you to discover them. They're concentrated and give Dom Martinho White its rich flavor. The grapes grow in the Alentejo wine region, located in southeastern Portugal, south of the capital, Lisbon. This region is considered one of the warmest wine regions in Europe, so the grapes grow under the best conditions. It's no wonder Dom Martinho White is so successful.
The scent and taste of Dom Martinho White
After harvest, the grapes for Dom Martinho White are fermented separately and made into wine. Then it's Dom Martinho's sublime winemaker's turn. He creates the blend and ensures that the towering quality of Dom Martinho White is preserved. The wine is also aged for another week on its own yeast cells, giving it a touch more complexity. It takes a while, but the rewards are worth it. The aroma and flavor offer notes of fresh citrus and lime. Furthermore, the floral notes are very noticeable in the aroma and flavor. Dom Martinho White is a perfect accompaniment to dishes with cod and salmon, but this Portuguese wine also pairs well with a light salad.
