  Tropical fruit up front, with herbaceousness and minerality in the core and an upbeat finish on decent acidity. Outstanding at around $10.

  Pale yellow-gold color with stone, and tropical fruit, floral, honey, spice and a hint of wet stone aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied with medium acidity and ample ripe white peach, mango, grilled pineapple, dried apricot, and honey flavors. Lovely texture and a lingering spicy finish. 14.5% abv. Blend of 40% Antao Vaz, 40% Roupeiro, and 20% Perrum. Insane QPR at an SRP of $12!

  Light yellow color. The nose is bright and peachy with mangos and limes (nice contrast), along with spicy herbs, wildflowers and creamy, honeyed notes. Lovely texture on the palate yet the acidity is precise, and there’s a nice tropical/citrus mix (mango and pineapple drizzled with lime). Notes of honey, salted almond, smashed rocks, chalk and dried flowers add all sorts of complexity. This is absurdly good for the price, a dynamic and exciting white blend of 40% Antão Vaz, 40% Roupeiro and 20% Perrum.
