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-

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.
