Tasting Notes

Pale citrus color. Intense and fresh in aroma and style, the Santola (or as we here are calling it, "the crab wine") is a delicious, spritely and refreshing white. It doesn't get much more traditional, thirst-quenching or seasonally perfect then this wine. Delicious, low in alcohol, slightly fizzy and way too easy to drink.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

This would be fantastic alone as an aperitif, but it also will pair nicely with Ameijoas a bulhao pato (clams steamed with white wine), fresh summer rolls with prawns, fish and chips, fresh salads, and more.
