September 8, 2019 - High delicious and interest factors. Dark yellow color, suggestive of an oxidative winemaking style and/or skin contact. Poached pear and lychee attack, rounded texture, long dry finish of minerality and phenolic 'grip'. Perhaps doesn't qualify as an orange wine, though the tactile sensation is similar to others I've had.

July 27, 2019 - Light amber color. Aromas and flavors of pear & apple skin, sandstone, pressed flowers and damp earth. Bright and succulent palate with rich depth filling in the middle, adding spice. Refreshing acidity and fine round structure, lingering finish with juicy closing notes of cider fruit, honeysuckle and minerals. Very nice.

June 4, 2018 - Alentejo Trip; 6/3/2018-6/8/2018: Pretty deep yellow color. Wow, so breezy on the nose yet deep, with oranges, salted lime, almond, green olive. Brisk on the palate but rich texture, lovely smoothness, and flavors of oranges and apricot. Complex elements of almond, sea salt, olive, honeycomb. This is a field blend of white varieties from 50- to 60-year-old vines, and it is something to behold. A blend of Antão Vaz, Perrum, Rabo de Ovelha, and Manteúd.
