Howard's Folly Portuguese White Wine Case

Howard’s Folly Alvarinho

is produced in Monção and Melgaço, a sub-appelation of Vinho Verde where Alvarinho is the only allowed variety and is known to produce some of its best expressions. The cool climate kissed by Atlantic winds, granite soils and high-altitude produce wine with elegance, gentle minerality and crisp acidity.

This is a rich and elegant expression of Alvarinho, with a beautiful nose of lime zest, acacia honey, lychee and apricots. The palate is taut, with medium, enveloping body; not your everyday cheap Alvarinho, but rather a complex and classic expression of the variety. Mingling flavours of peach, pear, melon and papaya are supported by the firm minerality that gives this wine its backbone, freshness and length. Simply delicious and such a great companion to food!

Howard's Folly Sonhador Branco

Howard’s Folly sources fruit from the region of Portalegre, in North-East Alentejo. Cooler temperatures, high altitude sites and mineral soils where old vines have thrived for nearly a century, produce wines of great complexity and freshness.

Their Sonhador Branco wine is a big blend of grapes that provide a medley of flavours. Honeyed citrus, lychees and toast with a creamy texture and fresh acidity gives a great balance a long finish. Matthew Jukes reviewed this as “kaleidoscopically perfumed, finely balanced with oak adding drama, this is one of the most arresting Portuguese whites I have ever tasted.”
