Camaleão Alvarinho 2024

Done in a more full bodied, rounder style. For less than 14$ fairly uni dimensional & perhaps a bit too one note. — a month ago

Frei João Bairrada Baga Blend 1985

In beautiful shape, better than I remember the last bottle being. Dried red and black fruits, dry dusty tannins, forest floor, dried porcini mushroom and old leather umami nodes, cedar, dried herbs. Did I mention it’s dry? But it’s a beautiful wine, the flavor profile exudes sun baked warmth but the alcohol clocks in at less than 12% so it doesn’t fatigue the palate — 3 years ago

Rosa Duck Fernão Pires Baga

Wow so good! Natural sparkling rosé with lotttsss of sediment. Juicy orange character makes this very drinkable. I love how inventive Portuguese wines are lately. — 4 years ago

Quinta do Poço do Lobo Red Blend 1991

Mature and rather delicate with notes of prosciutto and iron. Probably better for a light charcuterie board then easy sipping in a Lisbon AirBnB. Old school Bairrada producer. — 4 months ago

Lemon and lime and the salty sea air on the nose, round body, light peach flavors, and tingly citrus acid. Delicious and easily drunk, and making me wish for a warm evening in Lisbon. — 6 years ago
