Tasting notes
Passadouro white 2023 reveals a subtle acidity and a fruity character. It offers a complex, fresh and slightly mineral nose, with floral and white fruits notes. It is a very elegant, well-balanced wine on the palate, with fruity flavours and hints of vanilla from the barrel ageing. The finish is long and pleasant.
