A blend of 100y+ old Encruzado, Bical and Sercial, fermented & aged 11m in French oak.
Very Burgundian on the nose with yellow stone fruit, subtle oak, very elegant, very enticing.
medium bodied on the palate, with brilliant tension between the oaked fruit and the juicy, zippy acidity. Beautiful precision here, with depth & length. Very elegant, very Burgundian indeed.
A truly lovely and quite serious wine. Delish! — 2 months ago

Champagne Method Portuguese sparkler. Blend of native Portuguese grapes including Maria Gomes (23%), Bical (70%) and Cercial (7%). Aromas and flavors of pear, citrus fruits, white flowers, wet stones, honey and anise. Hint of chalk, smoke and minerals on the long finish. Expressive effervescence and creamy texture. (Lees Aging?) Unique, interesting and easy to drink. Excellent QPR. — 6 months ago

A light, flowery, green apple dominated blend of Encruzado, Bucal & Malvasia Fina.
Fresh, sappy, light on the aromatic side but makes it up with the stony, salty minerality.
Ultra long and quite lovely! — 2 months ago
Over delivers for a $15 btl. Nice, clean, dry, fresh, white blend. Not unlike a modern well made Viognier. — 6 months ago
Fantastic bottle. A bit grippy but not terribly dry; and some minerality that’s extremely welcome. Enjoyed with meatloaf, would stand up to most robust meals. — 9 months ago
