Colour: Bright, pale straw. Nose: Expressive. Floral with heady notes of blossoms and stone fruit and a touch of aromatic herbs. Slight hints of citrus. Palate: Despite the fragrant nose, a decidedly dry wine, with nicely balanced acidity and minerality typical of the region. Long, elegant finish. Abundant personality.
An excellent wine to pair with various types of starters, though best when accompanying fish and seafood. Also gives a nice twist to those ever-difficult-to-pair poultry dishes, and also some pork dishes. Its freshness and structure make it an excellent foil for creamy sauces. A wine with ageing potential of at least five years.
A characterful assemblage led by Covela’s main grape Avesso, blended with Chardonnay and a couple of other “spices” applied by our winemaker, Rui Cunha, who has been linked to the Covela project since 1990.
