A short time in oak gives this wine its extra toasty, spicy character, that lies comfortably alongside the perfumed acidity and crisp lemony texture. It could age a few months, so wait to drink until 2017.

The rare Codega do Larinho grapes make up half this rich, perfumed wine. Touched by the wood aging, it is both fruity and has more complex toast and almond flavors. It's ripe but could do with a few more months. Drink from the end of 2016.
