Today was probably
the last summer-like day over here in the South of Germany! The last chance for
another crisp white from the Iberian Peninsula.
So far I had quite a lot of positively surprising wines made of Godello, Albariño and so on. However this one was probably the most polarizing and most problematic wine. At least for me! I mean the Bacalhoa JP Azeitao Branco
2010 from Peninsula de Setubal not so far from Lisbon. More precise: a white blend made of
Moscateis (the Setubal
version of Moscatel) and Fernao Pires (a very common autochthons grape varietal
mostly in Tejo and Bairrada regions).
