Quinta de Foz de Arouce

Vinhas Velhas de Santa Maria Vinho Regional Beiras Baga Red Blend 2005

80% Baga with 20% Touriga National blended in. Only made in select vintages. Dark ruby color throughout. Bright and concentrated red fruit notes on both the nose and palate. Hints of red flowers, baking spices, minerals, garrigue and tobacco. Extremely long finish. Beautiful balance even at 18 years of age. Acidity and tannins have harmonized beautifully. Fresh tasting and still quite powerful. I do not understand why the Baga grape has such a poor reputation. Every Quinta de Foz de Arouce wine made from this grape that I have had the pleasure of tasting has been exceptional. — a year ago

Soalheiro

Primeiras Vinhas Alvarinho 2021

2021 vintage. The brand name refers to the first 100% Alvarinho vineyard planted by Soalheiro in 1974. Today, it is still made from over 30 years old vines, fermented mainly in stainless steel, with 15% in used oak barrels. White peach and pineapple, intertwined with a distinctive minerality. Crisp and juicy with an exemplary purity of fruit, brilliant acidity and a very long mineral finish. Abv. 12,5%. Terrific value too. Highly recommended. — a year ago

'Quinta da Manoella' Vinhas Velhas Red Blend 2012

Brought back from winery. Cork fell apart but no issues. Blueberry coffee nose with bursting fruit and subtle tannins and vanilla. . Great mouthful. Would rate higher if less oak taste but delicious. WS said through 2022 but not over hill. — a month ago
