Portugal is great at churning out delicious wine with exotic, heady aromas and flavors you can’t find elsewhere. Portugal is not great at letting us know what we’re drinking. Like any place vines grow, Portugal has its own roster of native varieties, and Portuguese winemakers love nothing more than to blend them all together so we poor American wine drinkers haven’t a clue what’s going on. In Bucelas, just a few miles north of Lisbon, the folks at Chao do Prado blend together Arinto and Sercial to make a fair approximation of Chenin Blanc. Aromas of Anjou pear, lemon curd, lime zest, pineapple, kiwi, and chalky soil lead into a palate both custard-creamy and tense with live wire acidity giving life to notes of beeswax, mint, orange, lemon, creme fraiche, and savory herbs. It would be faster to make a list of foods this wine would not pair with, but it’s particularly good with roast chicken or something featuring paneer cheese.
