Region: Alentejo
Grapes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Winemaker's notes: Guarda-rios is the name for the Kingfisher bird that populates the estate's water courses and cooler vineyard microclimates. Alentejo’s cooler coastal plains, stretch from Zambujeira do Mar to Vila Nova de Milfontes inspire innovative winemakers to craft vibrant Sauvignon Blancs like Guarda Rios.
Tasting notes: Clear, citrus-yellow appearance, intense aromas of tropical fruits (such as passion fruit) mixed with citrus peel (lime zest) and subtle green/vegetal undertones (green pepper), fresh palate with good body, clean acidity, and a light mineral finish.
Pairing: Grilled shrimp, garlic prawns, pan-seared scallops, steamed mussels, or raw oysters with a squeeze of lemon. Lightly grilled white fish, clams in garlic, olive oil, and cilantro. Chicken piccata, herb-roasted poultry, or pasta tossed in a pesto sauce. Fresh goat cheese, feta, or young ricotta.
