Beautiful wine from an unsung variety (at least as a single variety wine). Aromas of orange blossom, peach, pineapple, with a touch of reduction. Palate concentrated and fresh with medium plus body and acidity to round out the pure peach and apricot fruit. Delight to sip on

Drinking Tiago Teles Raiz Branco is like listening to Drake's "Passionfruit" in the shower. It's a slow groover with a real backbone and upbeat acidity, and you can't help but feel like you should be sharing it with someone. The nose is literally passionfruit, apple, lime & lavender soap, and it tastes like a medium-bodied woven basket of roses & oranges brushed with watercolored oxidation. And it makes your mouth feel like a steamed mirror.

Uff… funky. A swallower not a spitter.

Great amber wine, but don’t drink it too cold. Nectarine, citrus, and sour, tannic apples on the tongue. Cool texture.

Salty and refreshing. Little fruity. Perfect for sardines on the grill.

Surprised by the total tartness of this 5-day skin contact Portuguese white. Tons of lime and green apple make it almost puckering, in such a pleasing way. Rounded out with pear and a cane sugar nose, its bite is quick. Medium bodied, Somewhat dry, even finish. Overall wonderful.

Funkiness of an orange with the crispness of a vihno verde
