  oh wow - fantastic development at 5 years. Honey gold in glass, white flowers, talcum powder, honeysuckle. Fresh stone fruit, juicy, with distinctive limestone/oystershell minerality. Crisp acidity yes, but now unctious development, almost creamy. Love the development. More pears and beeswax starting to emerge. What an elegantly enjoyable alvarinho, fantastically priced, made by great folks! The age development is unexpectedly enjoyable.

  2017 Soalheiro Alvarinho.intense nose with white flowers, white peach, Citrus fruits, cucumber water and some herbs. Medium plus acid, medium alcohol. Full body. Pronounced flavours of primary aromas. All well balanced. Medium long finish. No development in one year. Well made, zesty and easy going, works very well with fat fish like Mackrell, tuna, salmon. 88
  
  Amazing value!

  Three identical 75cl bottles tasted, OK corks. As previously noted, correct but pretty dull stuff, like a kind of toned-down Riesling blended with some other, dry but characterless varietal. 86-87P

  near room temp its a fairly inert uninteresting wine. not much to recommend it. flat and not particularly pleasant at all.
  
  bottle is perfect; i know what you're thinking.
  
  ill freeze the hell out of it and maybe itll mask the meh.

  Palest gold with tiniest yellow green hints. Limey, touch of honeydew, slight minerality. Bone dry with fresh cut grass, bold racy acidity and touch of salinity on long focused finish.
