Maias Branco Quinta das Maias 2023

Eschewing the ubiquitous prosecco, Jane and I broke open this lovely Portuguese number and drank it as an aperitif. It was a warm August day in a middling summer here in rural Aberdeenshire with golden fields of barley stubble around us and just a few hints of Autumn in the cooling westerly breeze. A Thai curry chicken is on the menu, but for now this crisp flavourful wine with …yes stone fruits….peach….is just the ticket. Good price too.
