Amoras Branco 2017

Vinho Regional de Lisboa

Amoras is a brilliant, stony fresh white – a top example of modern Portuguese winemaking. Typically for Portugal, it’s great value too – just the sort of wine we love to champion. Hence our thrice winning ‘Portuguese Wine Retailer of the Year’.

Portugal cultivates a myriad of exciting grape varieties little known abroad. Thanks to massive investment and an influx of top winemakers, their world class potential is finally being realised. Amoras is from an estate north of Lisbon, owned by the da Silva family for several generations. The soil, slopes and breezy conditions close to the Atlantic combine with long sunny days to make this ideal grape growing country. Amoras comprises Fernão Pires for its weight and spice, Arinto for crisp citrus fruit, Vital, which contributes floral aromas, and Moscatel for its fresh grapey character. We have often recommended this wine to Pinot Grigio lovers wanting to branch out. It’s the perfect apéritif and partner for seafood, salads and sushi.
