Expressive nose with waxy lemons, a bit of matchstick reduction, some brioche. There’s also some white peach, white flowers. Quite complex. Rich and yet fresh. Intriguing & enticing.
Beautiful texture on the palate, love the mouthfeel. Layered, quite rich, impeccably balanced & poised.
Very elegant. Slightly creamy texture balanced by racy, juicy acidity. Yellow stone fruit in the back. And a long, saline finish.
Somehow I didn’t like it a year ago, maybe it was a bad bottle.

Primarily Vioshino with some Robigsto, Codega, Gouveio and Arinto blended in. Bright golden straw color. Aromas of green apples, pears and white flowers. Same green fruits on the palate with hints of spices. A definitive mineral note on the finish. Medium bodied and a slightly (neutral oak?) creamy texture. Long and intense finish. Bright acidity and quite fresh tasting. Thanks for opening this one, Ron B! — a year ago

Starting my 3 week exploration of Portuguese wines with this entry level white from Alentejo.
A blend of Arinto, Verdehlo, Gouveio, Alvarinho and Viosinho aged partially in concrete and partially in used wood.
Golden in colour with green reflexes. Nice character, southern in style, a bit (nicely) rustic with ripe lemons, dried herbs, a bit of white peach. A touch of spicy, waxy, smoky notes. Rich, savoury and fresh.
On the palate this is medium bodied, with nice balance & freshness. Good depth & length and suitable for late afternoon terrace sipping but also will hold its weight with food.
A very nice effort. — a month ago

2023 Quinta de Cidrô Douro Gouveio

An intriguing white from the Douro Valley, made entirely from 100% Gouveio, one of Portugal’s native white grapes. This wine opens with expressive aromatics and exotic flair, showing off notes of fennel, and ripe grapefruit peel that instantly draw you in.

On the palate, it starts with a welcoming freshness and glides into a mid-to-full body texture. There’s a creamy roundness toward the back end, balanced by a subtle, food-friendly astringency. The light tannic grip adds dimension, while the long finish wraps it all together with confidence.

A compelling white with personality, fresh yet textured. Cheers!
