I believe our beautiful grape competes with Rieslings and Sauvignon Blancs.

This is a Riesling style! Great crisp, and kick of apple and lime among others a bit softer.

A very good oaked version of Alvarinho.

But God I need that fruit!

This is the more mainstream/commercial wine this winemaker has. Honestly, it is a very good wine. But compared to the same style from the competition it gets a bit behind.. maybe if it would stay a bit longer in your mouth it could get away with it.

Not crispy enough..

A great wine! Still, they have a biological wine here, but I can't help comparing it with the 100% bio they have on which they did a better job I think.

This is still an amazing wine and a must try. I love this house and what they are doing.

From what I tasted from this winemaker, interestingly enough it is the one I liked the most. For an aromatic lover, this 9 months oaked wine is incredibly well made. Imagine and chardonnay but fruity. Very well done.

Not as intense as I wished. Lacks a bit of complexity and doesn't stay as long present in your mouth.

Still a very good wine.

A very easy drinking wine. Could use a bit more complexity and intensity.

Still wouldn't get a no on a sunny day with some shrimp!

A fairly fruity Alvarinho. But they kind of missed stone and tropical fruits here a bit.. still a very good option with that good citrus and herbaceous flavour!

Not my cup of tea, but for sure you can see amazing skills at the cellar here!

But I want more fruit!

A very good slighty oaked Alvarinho.

As said before, I am not a fan of oak on an aromatic grape, but this one has everything very well balanced. Great winemaking skills!
