Description
Medium-bodied and intriguingly textured, the wine shows citrus, grassiness and even green (unripe) coffee aromas. Ripe stonefruit and other, more tropical, flavours are evident on a clean, dry palate. Acidity is appropriately high, while a lean, mineral note makes for real freshness and a long finish.
Serve with cold plates, salads, seafood, white fish, chicken or turkey.

Launched by Go Brazil for the first time in the UK in 2019, Guaspari is a young, multi award-winning winery located on the site of a colonial-era coffee plantation in the highlands of São Paulo state in southeast Brazil.
Despite the vineyard’s high altitude (900-1300m), it is usually too hot and/or wet to harvest during February or March, the months when the grape harvest would typically occur in the much more southerly Serra Gaúcha hills.
To avoid this scenario, an additional, second pruning of the vines takes place, thus delaying the harvest until the cooler and drier winter months of July/August, and allowing the grapes to ripen more slowly before reaching maturity. This 2021 vintage is therefore now 20 months old (at April 2023).
