Primarily Vioshino with some Robigsto, Codega, Gouveio and Arinto blended in. Bright golden straw color. Aromas of green apples, pears and white flowers. Same green fruits on the palate with hints of spices. A definitive mineral note on the finish. Medium bodied and a slightly (neutral oak?) creamy texture. Long and intense finish. Bright acidity and quite fresh tasting. Thanks for opening this one, Ron B! — 6 months ago
This is the white Douro. 2018 vintage. A blend from 70% viosinho, 20% codega do larinho and 10% couveio. Sister and brother oenologists team. 80% of the fruit is sourced in Baixo Corgo (Poiares, 700 m altitude) and 20% in the Douro Superior (Murças, 580 m altitude). Whole cluster pressing and fermentation in stainless steel. White peach and flowers in the nose. In the mouth the juicy white peach fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and a distinctive minty finish with very good length. Amazing value at less than 12 euro. Abv. 12,5%. — 4 years ago

Sometimes you just want a good glass of white.
Citrus, stone fruit, stone. — a year ago
Reminiscent of orange marmalade with almonds, hints of cinnamon and raisin; boozy. Cheaper bottle of port, but potential for a couple years of aging, I’d guess. — 4 years ago
