7 years old. This once famous fortified wine was saved from extinction by the municipality of Oeiras. Galego Dourado, Ratinho and Arinto. Orange/amber colour. Intense perfume of dried apricots, brown sugar, mint and rosemary. Not overly sweet in the mouth with tight acidity balancing the dried fruit and spices. Very good length also. — 2 years ago

Intense nose with aromas of burnt sugar, caramel and raisins. Smooth, balanced sweetness, saline, long finish — 3 years ago

A blend of primarily 90% Pardina, also known as Cayetana Blanca and Jaen Blanco, this grape is grown abundantly in northwest Spain even though it is not commonly known in the U.S.. It displays a lemon-gold color, with a subtle nose of pear and fennel, and flavors of citrus and subdued melon in a medium bodied, medium acid, fresh white that is excellent when cold. — 4 years ago
