What a beauty - slightly greenish yellow colored w/gorgeous aromas like citrus blossoms & white flowers, so fresh & clean, marine influence, some salinity & minerality but surprising delicate and aromatically forward. Chiseled on palate, bit silky, but nose translated palate. One of the more generous Spanish Albarinos I’ve ever had - reminded me of some riper CA offerings. — 2 years ago
Flagship white by the amazing Pilar Higuero, one of Spain’s most exciting proponents of biodynamic farming and the unofficial “lideresa” (leader) of the Spanish vignerons association “Artisan Wine Attraction.” The wine is named after the traditional children’s game “a pita cega” (“blindman’s buff” in English, literally “the blind hen” in Galician language) and the tools used to clean up vineyards in this spectacular biodynamic farm: a flock of chicken (Her red wine labels, on the other hand, feature the sheep used to graze and fertilize soils). Blend of mostly Albariño, Treixadura and other indigenous varieties, fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and aged on its lees for 20 months. Very expressive, complex nose with aromas of apples, white fruit, fennel, floral notes and minerals. Medium to full bodied, round, sumptuous on the palate. Lively, fresh, vibrant, good acidity. Amazing wine ⚡️ — 5 years ago

All native Portuguese grapes made a very good wine. Rich, floral, and tart. I’d almost call it savory. — 7 years ago

Bright lemon color, aromas of stone, citrus and tropical fruit with violet scents. On the palate flavors of pear, apples and pineapple with lemon citrus and chalky notes. Well balanced with pleasant lively acidity, long finish ending with fruit, mineral, citrus, floral and wet stone nuances. Very nice! — 5 months ago

Super bright acidity, just something about how Western Europe designs white wines. So simple but so expressive. Not trying to be anything but just boldly there. — 6 years ago

Light bodied red, raspberries, some savory notes in the finish akin to Oregon Pinot Noirs. The nose is timid, but the acids carry this. — 4 months ago
