Ribafreixo – Pato Frio Grande Escolha 2014 – Alentejo

Youthful quite pale colour. Slight green hue, medium-deep straw. Very aromatic. A lot of character here. Truly an aromatic variety here, with no indication of oak. There are floral hints with more, let’s say, green fruit. In the direction of pear, kiwi, lime, with some floral hints as well. Good bite on the palate. This one is showing a little hint of oak in the background, but I think it is well-integrated there. There are slight hints of roasted hazelnuts. On the palate, the fruit remains the same more in the green spectrum of apple, pear. Lot of zestiness, particularly on the finish, fresh lemon and lime. Quite long and gripy aftertaste. So quite an attractive wine.
