Community Tasting Notes (average 87.7 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 48 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by RayonaNYC on 8/1/2023 & rated 88 points: Classic varietal wine. Nose of canned peaches and pears, honeydew and sea spray. Palate adds almond skin, a lovely squeeze of lemon and takes the salinity in a decidedly cheesy/beery direction. Hint of spritz and refreshing acidity. (521 views)
 Tasted by gallu on 7/22/2023 & rated 91 points: 91 Un vino excelente. Amarillo pálido. Nariz mineral. En boca es frutal, redondo, con final mineral y muy largo. Sabroso, intenso. Excelente añada. Madurará con elegancia. (466 views)
 Tasted by gallu on 1/17/2023 & rated 92 points: 92 Espléndido. Mineral en nariz. Boca fresca, intensa, con volumen y acidez. Perfecto vino. Gran añada. (889 views)
 Tasted by Boudica on 12/4/2022 & rated 90 points: Clear, golden. Notes of peach, honeydew melon, pineapple, jasmine, beeswax, toasted almond, thyme, rosemary and sea breeze on the nose, clean and moderately pronounced. Refreshing, bright, spritzy acidity, very saline, pomelo sherbert, white peach. Light bodied, very well balanced. Not overly long or complex, but an excellent example of this style. Very easy drinking, perfect for a beach picnic on a warm day. Would I buy another bottle? Absolutely - it's delicious! (923 views)

 Tasted by hoservin on 8/26/2022 & rated 88 points: Peach, apple, lemon peel, saline, toasted almond with a hint of mint. Long finish with good balance. A good QPR. Served with tomato pie. (623 views)
 Tasted by Juliansi on 8/21/2022 & rated 84 points: Oddly not half as good as the Granit which is only marginally more expensive then this "base" Alvarinho. Best to wait till that's available in stock again and go for Quinta de Soalheiro 'Granit' Alvarinho.

Came across as being a bit flat, with marginally insufficient acids despite the usual citrus and apple notes. Missed the minerality..

This was served a wee bit warm, I would recommend trying this at 13C in the future. For value its a good proposition, I shall be trying out more Portuguese Vinho Verdes!

 Tasted by mwagner7700 on 7/5/2022: Purchased for ~$20. Light straw in color. Lots of citrus and fresh tropical fruit. Grapefruit, peach, pineapple. Hints of juicy green apple and lemon. There's a nice saline note that really brings this all together. Not quite "sea air", just a slight salty note. I really like those tropical melon notes. This is really good. Yum. Grade: A- (718 views)
