With a light-yellow hue, a clear and crystalline appearance, mandriola de Lisboa white presents a fresh and tropical aroma, with nuances of pineapple and well-balanced white fruit, characteristic of the grape varieties. It is a medium-bodied wine, with a slight creaminess and a balanced and pleasant acidity, in a harmonious and refreshing aftertaste.
