This is a
bottle of Brazilian Pinot Grigio I tasted at the Vinopolis in London in the
summer of 2010. Part of the Miolo Group which goes back to 1897, the Seival
Estates was purchased in 2000 and planted with both Portuguese and
International varieties. Their flag ship line is Quinta do Seival , whilst this
is their basic line of wines.
Although Brazil has a large area under vines, much of that is for table grapes rather than wine. Besides, most of Brazil is too close to the equator for wine growing and hence wine production is concentrated in the mountainous Serra Gaucha in the south of the country.
As for this wine, it was very pale straw in colour with a crisp fruity nose, The crisp fruit continues through the palate punctuated by lemony notes, which continue into the finish as a lemony acidity.
