On the palate rich with yellow fruit and chalky minerals. Creamy with notes of milk-chocolate that almost reminds us of Chardonnay-based Champagne. A very good wine on its own or with food (we had bruschettas). Highly recommended.

13% abv. Mineral/talcum nose. Palate is very refreshing - touch saline. Body but little weight - short finish though. Some air and the finish is longer. Touch of prickle on the finish? All in all, easy to drink. High quality, of not the depth of more expensive wines. Good/fair value at around £15.

lemons and herbs on the nose initially quite light, some lemony fruit a little on the lean side but then has a very waxy long finish seems very expensive

--popped and poured – -- tasted non-blind over a few hours --
NOSE: strong aromas of fresh green pear and canned Bartlett pears; smells like a white wine that is still going through primary fermentation; interesting chilli powder and orange Pledge notes ---- kind of CA Viognier-esque.
BODY: green-yellow color; medium-light bodied.
TASTE: tropical fruits --- papaya & mango; moderate mineral presence, and a hint of florals on the front palate; a musk note emerges with time in the glass, too; acidity is a touch on the low side, but is nonetheless adequate; 13% alc. can be tasted a bit on the sides of the palate; tastes like a bbl sample; simple-but-good, but not good enough for me to be interested in buying again.
B: 50, 5, 11, 15, 6 = 87

Nearly colorless in the glass. This wine has a fragrant Nose of spice, orange, and flowers. Medium bodied on the palate: very nice zippy acidity; light oak; no batonagé or racking; lovely orange flavor; from yellow schist soil; between 12.5% and 13.5% alc.. This barrel is probably bound for the 2011 regular Redoma Branco.

Green and red apples. Bright and vibrantly fresh with a thicker mid palate than I remembered it having.

Improved on the second night. Suggested it needs a little more time.

Similar experience as my 2/18/13 bottle. Very good, but nothing distinctive. Good sub-$20 wine.
