Azores 2024 with heather Cindy m s jr. crisp minerals — 5 months ago
Very muted in the nose… hardly anything at first, fresh saltiness, barely a hint of green apple & lemon peel. And yet, fresh & enticing.
And then, on the palate this sings! Simply beautiful! With a touch of roundness & creaminess on the palate but also vibrant acidity, salinity, stony minerality. Ripe yellow apple & lemon. Vibrant, juicy and quite complex. Great depth & length.
A benchmark for Chablis & delish! — 6 months ago

Champonois like. Brioche, no sign of effervescence but it was very pleasing — 4 months ago
Smooth, full-bodied, crisp, clear, with a salty after taste. Paired well with grilled octopus. — 10 months ago
Likely some bias as enjoyed it while in the Acores, but tried a bunch of arinto while in the Acores and Portugal proper, and this was the favorite by far. Simply delicious. — 3 months ago

Absolutely fantastic wine. Berry-esque and acidic to taste. Simplistic in its way, I feel that is why it speaks out so much. Angus ribeye and mashed potato cake is great with it. — 7 days ago
