At first I found this medium bodied, slightly creamy, with prominent stone fruits, white peach and cumquat, with a prominent minerality and slight notes of cheesecake on the nose. Now it’s emerging much more dry with air, still a long, mineral driven palate, still medium bodied, but beautifully balanced and definitely a contract to many California white wines when it comes to complexity and nuance. — 16 hours ago
Super fun, green apple, light and bubbly — 5 days ago
Young, slightly effervescent mid-dry wine with subtle flavor of apples and citrus. Don’t complete summer without enjoying this on a hot day. Very inexpensive too! — 18 days ago
Delicious and well-balanced! Nice minerality, mild notes of citrus, slightly dry. — a month ago
Tremendous value. One of the top three wines from our trip to Portugal, sells for €5 in miniprecios in both Porto and Lisbon. Light, citrus notes, refreshing, easy drinking. Great on its own or with fruit and mild cheeses. — 19 days ago
Great value for money, slightly fizzy. Very light and easy to drink on a hot day! — 17 days ago
Solid Alvarinho with a clean flavor. Good minerality. But not an extraordinary Alvarinho. — 17 days ago

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! — 2 months ago
