I am not quite sure of the varietals in this blend. .  However, the fruit and the acidity is in near perfect harmony. A really nice tasting blanco from Portugal.  — 3 years ago

Waxy lemons with a hint of dried herbs, a hint of lime, a slight whiff of mint. Fresh, savoury, quite cool.
On the palate this is medium to light, juicy, fresh. A beautifully surprising 12.5% alc (for Alentejo!) clear, crisp, with great flow and a herby, slightly spicy finish.
Delightful!
A blend of Arinto, Antao Vaz and Viosinho. — 8 months ago

Light straw in color with a golden hue.

Strong nose of yellow apples, spices, minerals, lemons, earth, orange peel, herbs and overripe citrus fruits.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with over ripened apples, citrus, cream, spices, light vegetables, light peaches, herbs, earth, limes and black pepper.

Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy limes.

This is Is a very interesting white blend from Portugal. Although crisp, it has a light buttery feel. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Better when not too cold, and after 20 minutes of airtime.

This is not my usual style, but I really enjoyed it.

Paired wonderfully with a Mediterranean dish of baked eggplant drizzled with Tahini.

A blend of 40% Antao Vaz, 20% Perrum, 20% Rabo de Ovelha and 20% Manteudo. Grapes are fermented and aged in amphora clay vessels with indigenous yeast.
A small production of only 4,000 bottles. Organic and vegan.

12% alcohol by volume.

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. — 9 months ago

Top-pick value for money. Great blend (ideal combo for Chardonnay wine-lovers that also want that great specific Portuguese Alentejano touch). 2019 is very refined & balanced. — 4 years ago

A fantastic white blend made from Arinto and Fernao Pires. Straw yellow in colour. Aromas of lemon zest, peach, grapefruit, chamomile. Very well balanced, dry white with moderate length and mineral finish. — 6 years ago
