3B Blanc de Blancs Bical

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. — 18 days ago

Special Cuvee Brut Nature 2016

Lovely Portuguese sparkler from the Bairrada AOC north of Coimbra, cepage is 5% Cercial, 30% Bical, 30% Maria-Gomes, and 35% Arinto. Loads of bubbles, not quite as fine or delicate as a fine Champagne, but really lovely for a midweek sub-$16 sparkler!! — 3 years ago

Over delivers for a $15 btl. Nice, clean, dry, fresh, white blend. Not unlike a modern well made Viognier. — a month ago

Dinamica Bairrada Bical & Arinto Blend

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. — 4 months ago
