Gaba do Xil Valdeorras Branco 2020

100% Godello. I do not come across those very often.
Mineral, light-to-medium bodied, peachy-appley fruit, lots of freshness and lift. In my book, this Godello belongs in the Verdejo/Sauvignon corner.

Monte Velho Alentejano Antão Vaz Blend 2021

McCarthy & Schiering, $11

Bursting with tropical flavors, lots of pineapple and guava, almost reminds me of POG juice. Balanced with a crisp acidity and very easy to drink. Amazing for the price, I immediately went back and grabbed 2 more bottles
