Quinta do Vallado 'Prima' 2016 Review
Varietal character is evident in this Douro Muscat, the nose driven by full-fruited aromas of purple flower bouquet with peach and orange marmalade. Lest you assume that the palate will be sweet, think again; this wine is completely dry and quite round, with bitter green stems and lemon pith contrasting the intense fruit.
