 Tasted by r.o.man on 9/26/2017 & rated 91 points: Smoke and hot stones on the nose with white flowers and underripe apricots, some grassy green element. The body is medium, good weight and viscosity, lifted acidity, intense sour fruit like lychee, appricots again, some minerality. Good lenght and plenty of time ahead.
Varieties: arinto, códega, gouveio, rabigato, viosihno. (685 views)
 Tasted by Antoine Rioseco on 2/1/2016 & rated 80 points: Light straw colour.
The nose is pleasant but quite shy, freshness, minerality with a tiny hint of vanilla.
The palate is extremely straightforward as a main flaw, the texture is smooth and well-defined, with notes of lime, lingering finish with persistant acidity.
Not worth the buy. (1075 views)
