  Bright, crisp, clean and refreshing. Not as sweet as a Riesling or as dry as a Pinot Grigio. A simple but very pleasant wine that goes well with a summer picnic. It's a great crowd pleaser and a great QPR. Will buy again.

  Disappointing. The bottle actual "popped" as it released the CO2 upon opening the screw cap (very unusual in Portugal). This is a simple, watery, citrus water, effervescent export edition of what can be a delightful wine. After having just spent a week tasting in Portugal - including a stop at this winery - this does not represent what they produce and is an example of why Portuguese wines struggle for wider US marketshare. Stop the CO2 infusions, it is not necessary and the export market does not want it.

  The low rating is due to the fact this is a fizzy wine. Not a fan of bubbles so didn't finish the glass.
