Sep 16th, 2015Once again this is vinho Verde at its very best. Pear, cantaloupe, chalk. There's that mineral thing on the nose that tells you it's going to be great 😊 the palate is very well made with a great acid backbone, a good width and mouthfeel, some pear and slightly lemony notes, before a long and fresh finish that goes on for a while. Why is everyone overlooking Vinho Verde?

Nov 11th, 2022Lychees and lemons with a feeling of fizz (without the fizz). Opened up with time into something more mellow. It was interesting in a good way.
