Good fruit and aromatics on the nose. Tropical fruit and honeysuckle. Slightly truffled. Lovely palate. Very similar to the 2018, but it's evolved nicely with its edges taken off.

Still drinking great. Beautifully balanced and harmonious with aromas of acacia, apricot, lemon and oyster shell. Medium bodied on the palate with nice acid, lots of mineral, some refreshing bitter notes and a clean, clean finish. Definitely some sponti funk in here too. Great with a whole roast sea bream and stir fried bok choi. Refined and full of class.

Pale golden green. Fresh. Loads of lemon & lime citrus, some ripe white peach, streak of unripe pineapple. Lovely acidity, good length. Real depth too. Maybe just that bit further South gives it more concentration. Also great value. Serious version of VV.

Tasted during a WA event „a matter of taste” – Portugal master class. Light yellow, nose of lemon, apples. Tart on the palate, good fruit and medium length. A good table wine for seafood dishes.

Midsummer House Restauant is literally, a quaint, two storey house with a small garden at the base of the Common and near the river. Simply adorable. Sorry, we just think that sums up the place. We could say a lot more, but why ruin the simplicity of perfection? Fun, light, citrusy, slightly tart finish. Always nice for a change…the Portuguese make some interesting stuff.

Nose is dominated by yeast driven fruit, tropical fruit, pineapples, pears, lime, grape. There is also hints of flowers and a bit of stony minerality. Fresh, medium+ acidity with generous fruit and a medium body. Good intensity and length. Finish is quite dry, with a bit of tartness. Good quality, but a bit generic and not a style that I particularly like that much.

Beautiful, full, fresh, alive and vibrant. Lemon, lime, grapefruit, passion fruit, melon, mint and mineral. Gym sock and natural ferment. Medium to full in the mouth with medium plus acid, a touch of sugar, balancing bitters, a lingering spiciness and a minty finish. Harmonious and balanced. Goes down easy. Some thickening on the tongue but clear, direct and pure. Very good with matsutake gohan and buri teriyaki. On further reflection, it's the smoothness, balance and subtle depth of this wine that impress.

Weekly tasting group #129; Portugal (@ SB): Bouquet with white and yellow fruits, some honey and later also some smoke and minerals appeared. On the palate a firm amount of citrus, some pineapple. Quite dry.

Smell: not much going on. Taste: lemon/lime, stone fruits, slight minerals. Less ripe fruit vs 2012 Premeiras Vinhas, with more acidity showing as a result.

Another wonderful, citric and melon-filled wine with nice acidity and prominent lip smacking finish. A bit of a green-herb tinged note adds complexity. Drinks so well right now with shellfish.

This is so good, with more depth than a typical Vinho Verde. Citrus, melons and a kiss of green herbs. So well balanced with cool fruits and clean, crisp acidity. Moderately long in the finish. Delicious.

This appears to be weightier style of VV, with more melon and orchard fruit on the profile, with a nice lemony, well cut finish. Clean and no trace of oak, with a pure, zesty, palate cleansing palate.

Nice wine for around £14 (the wine society). Lush and juicy, dry, complex. Good as an apero and great with seafood. I will definitely buy again.

Never had a alvarinho like this before. Aromatic like a fine gewurtz, mineral like a fine chard. Really fresh & delicious. Great value at under $20.

Very nice, & George liked it a lot too. Pear and green melon, citrus, slight prickle of fizz adding spice.

A private lunch (Hotel The Old Coastguard, Mousehole, Cornwall, UK): Much more serious than your average Vinho Verde, good weight of bright yellow stone and citrus fruit, clean, elegant and refreshing, minerals and flowers, linear, good length.
