Contacto Monção & Melgaço Alvarinho 2023

Exclusively from their vineyards in the northern part of Vinho Verde, Monção and Melgaço. I’ve been there! That’s where I accidentally got up two hours early cause my clock switched to Spain time and I thought that meant I'dn need to get up an hour early. Contacto has a little more skin contact than average, turning up with a slight texture and friendly bitter bite. On the nose, it’s fresh lemon zest, wet stone and whetstone, with a bit of white flower. The palate is utterly thirst-quenching, veering into dried apricot territory and a bit of (as I said above) fun bitterness countering the fruit. It all wraps up with a sluice of salinity. Fun, fun, fun! — 3 months ago

South Australia Cabernet Shiraz 2019

Very good. But I prefer the single variety Shiraz over the blend. I don’t think cab adds to AUS Shiraz, quite honestly. 😎🇦🇺 Note that I am rating the Vetus Purum reserve wine. Delectable just cannot classify it right. — a year ago

Выпито там же тем же составом. Альбариньо - мой любимый белый португальский сорт винограда. Это достойное вино 2020 года. — 7 months ago

Vetus Purum Barossa Shiraz 2020

Delicious Shiraz from Barossa. Smooth with a long finish. Powerful fruit and elegant structure. Love the notes of cassis. So far this is the best of my AUS 23 in-country tasting tour. — a year ago
