2012 Vinhos de Altitude-Beyra "Quartz" Beira Interior.
My third bottle.....2 new grapes to me....Siria and Fonte Cal. 12% alc, $20 Cdn, good natural cork.
Light straw color, tinge of green this time around but still very bright looking. Lime zest,mineral nose, some floral as it opens, the "grapefruit and straw" from a previous bottle across the table.
Entry is quite dry, medium-bodied, big acidity here. Lengthy finish, grapefruit, good rounded mid-palate. I let it stand for an hour to open up and found more mineral tones and unripe BC green apple. I did not serve too chilled as I thought I would get more from this white. I need to do more research on this very interesting new arrival and keep an eye open for a newer vintage.
