The mysterious music of the deep has been part of folklore since ancient times. Whilst we cannot claim that the songs of sirens are anything other than myth, the impact of the ocean on the winemaking of Portugal is without doubt. Providing a much-needed counterpoint to the heat of the sun, it allows winemakers to achieve wines that are full of fruit, but also full of subtlety and balance. This harmonious Alvarinho, a variety more famous in neighbouring Spain, bristles with blossom and citrus allure.
Musica Do Mar Alvarinho Tasting Notes by Wine Expert, David Andrews, DipWSET
A vibrant and racy Alvarihno with lemon, lime and a salty tang on the finish to really keep your tongue alive. It's got more body than I'm used to with Alvarinho but that was to it's advantage in my opinion. It really helped with the balance of the wine as well which was excellently poised between strong flavours and acidity.
