Hugo Mendes Lisboa Branco - 2023 (750ml) Mixed Wines cedar and tobacco scents andThis wine is made from a field blend of grapes grown on the Tagus river north of Lisbon, a bit cooler than other vineyards in the area. Grapes include Ferno Pires, Arinto and Vital, among others. The sum of these grapes is a brightly lemon scented wine with loads of saline, mineral character. It just cries out for a plate of fried sardines with fresh lemon, though any seafood will make this wine sing. Bring on your bright sharp salad dressings,
