White wine from Portugal and France

I usually stay with wines from Italy with occasional forays into Germany and France. This time I have a wine from Portugal. It is a white wine made from the grape Verdelho, this grape is often used for Madeira wine.  The producer is Herdade Do Esporao and the vintage is 2014. this wine is simply called V. In the taste I get apples and acidity with an almost buttery feel. A nice wine.

Next wine is a French white wine from Provence. It is by producer Paul Jaboulet Aine and it is called Parallele 45 Cotes Du Rhone Black 2014. here I get flowers on the nose. The taste is flowers and some fruits with a light tinge of grapefruit in the taste. A decent wine.
