Setubal Jose Maria Da Forseca

Portugal

11.5% Alcohol


Regularly $13.49, on sale for $9.99


Seaside, the Setubal Peninsula is directly south of Lisbon. Another limestone-centric hilly region where both the reds and the whites have gained acclaim. They’ve been doing wines here since the 5th Century BC – so they’ve got it figured out, and that’s why they’ve won a lot of international awards.


Moscatel de Setubal and Arinto Grapes.  Dry. Crisp. Lovely body.  A great blend.


Quite different than the Spanish Rueda Valley Spanish White the other night, but just as enjoyable.  It would be interesting to have both these at a tasting together.


We had decided on prawn/pasta bowl – and it worked really well with the wine.  Whole wheat pasta (Italian) with a stir fry of green onion/mushrooms/zucchini/red pepper/garlic.  Prawns were tossed in finely zested lemon, and then tossed with some basil on the spinach at the end.


Dessert was homemade  berry/apple strudel (in phyllo)
