This 70/30 blend of Loureiro and Alvarinho has fresh, herbally, lemon/lime citrus, floral, honeysuckle, and orange blossom aromas. The rich, medium to medium-full bodied palate is crunchy, nicely textured and dry with lovely floral, citrus, grapefruit, and orange blossom flavours. Acids are well-balanced, while the long finish has very good structure. Tasted May 2024.

Very crisp, and lean....plenty of lemon-lime flavours with a hint of barely ripe mango (I kid you not, that's what I get) Comes off as dry despite 8g/L of RS thanks to the brisk acidity. Just 11.5% abv, so I would guess that this was early-picked. Very enjoyable wine, but works best with appropriate food (eg fish). Tasted Jul 2024.
