NECTARINE, ACACIA, GRAVEL-Y MINERALITY, SEASPRAY
Manuel Formigo’s Teira X is a classically quintessential representation of Ribeiro whites. The grapes are from a single vineyard, Miñoteira, grown from his oldest vines. As is typical around these parts, Treixadura, the shining star of the region, is featured on center stage in this production, supported by its native relatives. Stone and granite soil forces the grapes to duke it out allowing only the best to reign supreme! X marks the spot!
Serving Suggestion: Creamy cashew risotto w/ braised parsnip medallions. Butter poached monkfish w/ potato salad & sauteed yu choy. Brie, candied orange & fennel.
