Alto do Joa Wihte Wine presents powerful old gold color, with nuances between gold and amber. Shiny, clear, and transparent.
Aroma of yellow fruit compotes (quince, pear, apple), and other dried fruits, like chestnut and nut. Ethereal and complex. Light earthy, resines, fine cedar notes and dried powdered spices.
In the mouth reveals complex bouquet with notes of phenolic flavours. Full body and good persistence. Dry, balanced acidity. Soft. Good finish, with a powerful aftertaste reminiscent of old white fortified wines and chestnut marmalade.
Alto do Joa White Wine is a complex and delicate orange wine (curtimenta). Its versatility makes it possible to harmonize well with fresh and wild mushrooms, as well as succulent or rich dishes (feijoadas and cassoulets), cod and game birds. Goes well with vegetarian dishes. Some connaisseurs recommend this wine for a peach pie or a Tart Tatin
