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.

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.
