This is delicious. Kind of like a Portuguese take on Loire Chenin blanc. I know I shouldn’t necessarily compare other regions to some French benchmark but that’s just where my mind goes

No notes. One of my favorite Portuguese wines, period. Chablis precision & lift but more rounded & a broader mineral mouthfeel.

So silky, nutty, chardonnay-like. Prodigious green apple, juicy yellow plum. Mineral and textured in a distinctly Portuguese way.

Delicious stuff! Green apple, pear, white pepper, lemon, dried grass. Lovely salinity, minerality

Aug 25th, 2021Usually it’s a curse when your wine seller says it’s “ Chablis-esque”. Not this time. What a sensorium of fruit and layers of sea shell minerals; green apples, a bit of lemon curd; rs? Pitch perfect balance, pitch perfect price-under 27$. If this doesn’t convince you Portugal can swing with the heavy hitters,….From the Douro.

Seabras are not safe around me. Pineapple, lemon zest and oil, slate and salinity. The Xisto Cru is always delicious and glad becoming popular.
