Expert Review: A blend of 40% Arinto, 30% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura and 10% Azal.
Full of fruit, a lasting peach flavor targeted with laserlike acidity through the finish. It has the bite of salty ocean air and a lot of zing. For langoustines.- Wine and Spirits- 92

My Review: This wine was light yellow in color. On the nose, it was floral but also exhibited moldy earth characteristics. The withering flowers didn’t carry into the flavor though. It picked up tart citrus flavors with unripe pineapple. This wine was full bodied.

Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at the Vintage Cellar.
