Gota Wine Prunus Private Selection Dão Encruzado Blend 2021

Kristen Grimes

A lot of minerality on the nose, some apricot, some lemon pith, some almonds. Round on the palate, tart lemons but not a lot of acidity, strong minerals. Went well with our shrimp risotto but otherwise kind of flabby and not great. Detailed bottle labels (and Google Lens) are great!
