  Tastes a bit spoofy - a bit of cheap oak, poorly integrated acid, and a simple yellow raisin and green apple flavor. Still, it's got some energy and isn't offensive. you can do a lot worse for $9.

  Still fresh but to drink now. It is gradually becoming tired. Aroma of lime blossom.

  Youthful greenish color. Very lush, ripe and sweet nose with primary, fruity aromas of peach, some banana and a hint of pear and pear drops. The sweet nose leads to expect similar kind of flavors, but the palate is surprisingly light, dry, crisp and with good acid zip. Intense flavors of fresh citrus fruits, acid-driven lemon, some grassy notes, hints of ripe tropical fruits and rather pronounced bitterness. Crisp, refreshing finish with high acidity and flavors of lemony citrus fruits, ripe green apple, grass and some apple peel bitterness.
  
  The wine is not anything unique or of big character, but it is a balanced high-quality Verdejo with typical grassy and bitter flavors combined with high acidity. The nose is still very primary, but I can see it settling down to something more typical of the variety with some age. Good, crisp stuff and worth its at 5,80€ for a half bottle.

  Verdejo e Viura. 12,5% abv. Rolha. Amarelo pálido. Nariz adocicado, que remete a compota de pêssegos e de abacaxis. Na boca é bastante leve, com acidez medíocre, um pouco insosso. Beba o mais cedo possível!

  Screw cap. 100% Verdejo. Medium-high aromatics showing lovely floral, herbal nose, with a backdrop of earth, and hints of guava and banana. Very complex nose. Palate is medium+ bodied with herbal, white grapefruit, passion fruit and hints of tropical fruit. Fresh acids are nicely balanced, while the dry finish is very good. Excellent value! Score: 88+ pts
