Fragrant and crisp, with a mélange of melon, grapefruit, lime, and stone fruits on the palate. I would never know this was a $10 wine. I think this is also my first Portuguese white wine. This 2014 vintage was a sample sent to me to review.

Leesy, floral. Defined by lots of ripe citrus, almond, honey, and dried flowers. Most similar in my mind to Albariño from the O Rosal area.

Crisp, fruity. Paired well with sushi, just the tiniest hint of dry finish to prevent from being too sweet to pair with food. Wife and I both loved it!

Fun stuff for the money. Grapefruit, bitter melon. Nice acid. Great food wine.
