Herdade do Esporão
Monte Velho Alentejano Antão Vaz Blend
So crispy and refreshing! Tart green pear. Really liked, and so many Portuguese whites are such a good value.

May 30th, 2017This wine kills it at $12. Generous nose, lovely textural breadth and mineral notes. Hits a lot of fruits, ripe melons, white peaches, citrus, crushed rocks, a nice leesy kick. The acid is soft but no means flabby and makes for a great patio wine/cheese partner.
