Niepoort "Redoma Reserva" Douro White Wine 2005 (Portugal)

Straw/yellow.

Discreet aromas of lemon, apple, pear, meal and a hint of pepper. Reminds me of a very classy white Burgundy (or Remelluri Blanco).

NIce sweetness on entry, with strong citric acidity cutting through. Very refined and subtle, but also concentrated. Long stony, citric chew of a finish. Late note of spearmint. This is extra cool action. No way I'd have guessed this came from the Douro.

I wonder what this is a blend of? Assuming it is a blend.
