  Pale light straw in colour with a wide white rim. This looks quite youthful.
  The nose is clean and fresh smelling. Light lemon notes dominate with touches of pine, peach and apricot.
  This has a dry light bodied palate with well suited acidity. Weak flavors of pear, peach and nectarine are suppressed by notes of lemon and lime. The finish is short but resolute. This still comes across fresh and refreshing, but there are much better examples of Rias Baixas at around the same price.
  Drink by 2011.
  Good Quality. 84 pts.

  Surprisingly quaffable bbq wine - fresh, crisp fruit with a touch of fleshy apricot on the mid-palate. Some notes of lemon in there as well - good balance between the sweetness of the fruit and the acidity. I was expecting this to be much sharper and tougher going than it actually was. Very decent for summer slurping.
