A lovely example of a single varietal Vinho Verde - a bit richer than an alberiño from across the river in Rias Baixas, this is a crisp, juicy white that benefits from having none of the once-traditional Vinho Verde spritz. Nice apple and yellow tropical fruit character, very clean and appealing with food. Not complex but satisfying

Not my favorite Alvarinho this year. Weak layering with slight mineral finish. Citrusy, a bit stone fruity, slight fizz.

Nice body and verve, but all boot polish and gunpowder, maybe flawed VA?

Okay Albariño, with nice white fruit notes (apple, pineapple, and peach) but too much alcohol in the finish.
