Quinta de Baixo

Gonçalves Faria Bical Maria Gomes 2015

Glorious length, palate-staining. Not fat but very pure & forceful waves of citrus, stone-fruit, minerals. Plenty of acidity, could age more — no idea which way the flavor profiles evolves. — 4 years ago

Palace Hotel-Bussaco Reservado Buçaco Branco 2003

Truly compelling. Layers of toast and mineral and so youthful still. Encruzado and Maria Gomes from Dâo and Bairrada. Living vibrantly in the glass. Finishes long. Complex. Has lots of life yet ahead. — 8 years ago

I've yet to open my only bottle brought home from Lisbon but I have heard they fall apart a bit pretty quickly with air... Was this your experience? How long did you have it open and watch it?

Was open for approx. 10 hours - lunch til late evening. Wasn't falling apart, but did improve.

Torre de Coimbra

Bairrada Bical Blend

I swooped this random Portuguese white blend from my local when I needed something light to pair with a seafood paella I was making last night. This is a blend of three grapes I have very little experience with: Bical, Maria Gomes (Fernão Pires) and Cerceal. The wine pours a bright golden color with medium viscosity. One the nose, the wine is medium intensity with green apple, pear, star fruit, grass clippings, verbena and honeysuckle. On the palate, pears, green apple, minerals and beeswax. Medium+ acid. The finish is long and lip smacking. This was a really huge surprise and massively satisfying for under $20. Yet another reason why I should be drinking more Portuguese whites. — 4 years ago

2016 Baga from Luis Gomes is more mineral than fruit at first, then the fruit opens up in the glass. Great with food, especially hearty seafood and lighter meats and chicken. — 6 years ago
