White Blend

Made by Portuguese winemaker José Neiva Correia, the Paxis White Blend is a dry, bright white. With refreshing fruit flavors of apple and lemon on the nose and palate, this is a pleasant, easy drinking wine. The mineral, stony finish is particularly nice. We think that this is a fantastic addition to any afternoon and especially as an aperitif. It complements fish, white meats, and some spicier dishes easily. If you want something a bit more fun try it with your next cheeseboard!

Wine Region

Portugal

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
