1st XV White 2022 Case

£120.00

per case of 6

Sporting Wine Club has pleasure in announcing the launch of our first Portuguese wines. Iain Brown ‘Brownie’ owns Vihna do Falesia, a medal winning boutique vineyard near Lagos, in the western Algarve. The dramatic location of the vineyard, sweeping south to the Atlantic and sitting atop 100’ cliffs, is the most southerly vineyard in Portugal and also closest to the sea, delivering a subtle maritime influence to the wines.

The Wine: The wine is a blend of Arinto and Sauvignon Blanc.

A delicate yellow colour with greenish tones, its aromas reveal a citrus profile with hints of tangerine, with subtle pear and peach flavours and satisfies the palate with a fresh and lingering finish. Its light and dry acidity and subtle influence of the ocean deliver a special gastronomic disposition to all seafood, light pasta, cold cuts and light Asia cuisine – or as a refreshing summer aperitif.

Description

The XV and 1st XV labels come from Brownie’s long-term love and involvement in rugby, as with all of us. The 1st XV label is also inspired by the Ist XV Club (part of the Bath Rugby Foundation), a charity set up by David Trick ‘Tricky’ and co-founded by Brownie and 14 other individuals. The 1st XV Club is also actively supported by the Sporting Wine Club and its founder Simon Halliday ‘Hallers’, and proceeds from the sale of the 1st XV wines will be donated to the charity.
