Pnp. Pours pale canary yellow. Very clean and clear. Golden delicious apple, lanolin amd yellow plum on the nose. Maybe a touch of unripe apricot as well. Off dry, clean fruit, good acidity and no apparent alcohol or oak present. No spritz either. More golden delicious apple (almost like a hard cider), yellow plum a touch of lanolin and a bit of green herbs on the palate. Finishes clean, freah and yellowy fleshy fruity. Nice indeed!

Under a wax sealed natural cork. Pnp. The colour of pale fake movie wine. You know, light red, like Kool-Aid that you can see through? Maybe this is what they actually use?! Cool, fresh nose of cranberry, red meat, rhubarb and a touch of lanolin. Interesting. Strange mix of aromas. Medium bodied, good acidity, slightly astringent, slightly stalky fruits on the palate. Even a bit of tea like tannins. Feels a bit thin on the palate. Maybe this needs to be served only slightly chilled. Flavours of rhubarb, herb bread, fennel bulb and bark. Medium long, dry finish. Certainly Interesting but I'm not sure it works for me.

2021 FitaPreta Vinho Regional Alentejano

Under natural cork. Pnp. Deep black cherry colour. Nice, deeply fruited nose of dark black and purple fruits, bumbleberry, cocoa nibs, sous bois, dark minerals and blue suede on the nose. Medium-full bodied, high smooth tannins, bug fruit extract, good acidity and enough alcohol to balance it all out. The palate closely follows the nose. Lots of dark bumbleberry fruit, semi-sweet chocolate, sous bois, suede and chalky minerals. Finishes long, dry and with some tannic astringency. Not overly complex but pretty nice!
