Esporão Reserva Branco 2023 is a complex, full-bodied white from the Alentejo region. Creamy texture, balanced acidity, and notes of fruit, citrus with hints of oak. It's made from indigenous grapes like Antão Vaz, Arinto, and Roupeiro, offering a rich palate with a long, vibrant finish, making it a classic and harmonious wine. — 9 days ago

Another very good, easy drinking, inexpensive Portuguese wine. Looks like a dark rosato, but tastes more like a very light red. Mixed dried berries, cranberries, easy acid and tannins, slightly smoked. 11.5% abv. Serve with a light chill. Good aperitif with charcuterie. — a year ago

McCarthy & Schiering, $11

Bursting with tropical flavors, lots of pineapple and guava, almost reminds me of POG juice. Balanced with a crisp acidity and very easy to drink. Amazing for the price, I immediately went back and grabbed 2 more bottles — 3 years ago

Light straw in color with a golden hue.

Strong nose of yellow apples, spices, minerals, lemons, earth, orange peel, herbs and overripe citrus fruits.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with over ripened apples, citrus, cream, spices, light vegetables, light peaches, herbs, earth, limes and black pepper.

Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy limes.

This is Is a very interesting white blend from Portugal. Although crisp, it has a light buttery feel. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Better when not too cold, and after 20 minutes of airtime.

This is not my usual style, but I really enjoyed it.

Paired wonderfully with a Mediterranean dish of baked eggplant drizzled with Tahini.

A blend of 40% Antao Vaz, 20% Perrum, 20% Rabo de Ovelha and 20% Manteudo. Grapes are fermented and aged in amphora clay vessels with indigenous yeast.
A small production of only 4,000 bottles. Organic and vegan.

12% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Light body with a touch of acidity and kind of a woody flavor. A bit of sweetness too it as well. Not too intense, well balanced. Enjoyed it and would get again — 6 years ago

I am not quite sure of the varietals in this blend. .  However, the fruit and the acidity is in near perfect harmony. A really nice tasting blanco from Portugal.  — 3 years ago

When In Portugal…. Drink Portuguese white blends, with wax caps. From the local mini mart… for 10 euros plus. A soft lion, all scrunched up Burgundy, strong Deep yellow & begging for food. Drinks more like a high end Bourgogne or better. From the mini mart….did I mention that? — 4 years ago

Waxy lemons with a hint of dried herbs, a hint of lime, a slight whiff of mint. Fresh, savoury, quite cool.
On the palate this is medium to light, juicy, fresh. A beautifully surprising 12.5% alc (for Alentejo!) clear, crisp, with great flow and a herby, slightly spicy finish.
Delightful!
A blend of Arinto, Antao Vaz and Viosinho. — 10 months ago

2020 vintage. A blend of 70% Roupeiro and 30% Antão Vaz, vinified together in amphora by winemakers António Maçanita and Sandra Sárria. Unlike stated by one comment here, this is not oxidative whatsoever. Pear, quince, flowers and a hint of fresh mint. Medium-bodied with juicy white fruit, tight acidity, fresh herbs and very good mineral length. Abv. 12,5%. — 3 years ago
