2018 vintage. White Alentejo blend (Roupeiro, Rabo de Ovelha, Antao Vaz, Tamarez, Alicante Branco and Arinto) by winemakers António Maçanita and Sandra Sarria. Old vines, whole bunch fermentation, no malolactic. Bright yellow. Spicy and floral with power and some complexity. Authentic and very good value. — 5 years ago

Volcanic Verdelho do Pico (different from the Portuguese mainland Verdelho, also known as Godello in Spain) from vineyards located on 3 different islands - Pico, Graciosa and S. Miguel- in the Azores archipelago. Virtually at sea level and unusually close to the Ocean, vines grow on very poor volcanic basalt soils, surrounded by traditional stone-walled “currais” to protect them from the extreme Atlantic winds. Salty and mineral. Thirst-quenching acidity. Passion fruit. 🌋 🌋 — 6 years ago

Mafarrico (bad boy) Tinto, Douro DOC. Blackberry, evergreen, bay laurel, dried herbs on the nose, finely balanced acid-tannin palate, me-dusty, the hubby-silky mouthfeel. Brambly palate with more evergreen. Medium acidity and body, flavors linger as it rides off into a western sunset. Álvero Martinho Lopes is a terroir and dirt guy who works with Dirk Nieport. I’m surprised at the lower scores. This is what a Douro field blend is, no less than 8 different 🍇 varieties. — 6 years ago

Azorerna, wow! Köpte det dyraste som finns för att gå ”all in” vilket betalade av sig. Doftar inte så mycket direkt efter korken dragits ut, men kommer så småningom lite blommigt och med viss havsbris. Medelfyllig. Smakar oljiga oliver, knäck, gula äpplen och ett distinkt supermineraliskt salt avslut. 1413 flaskor totalt! — 8 years ago

Very nice white wine from the Azores. Indigenous grape, Arinto, from the Pico area. Lots of unripe citrus peel and stone on the nose. Mouth filling and precise with excellent acid and a long finish. Expressive yet restrained. Great savory saline quality - a wine to be enjoyed over some time as it unfolds. Excellent with oysters and other seafood. — 6 years ago

A lovely aged white "entry level supposed to be but no really" of great style, biodynamic production and almost last vintage of winemaker António Carvalho, who past away in 2009 - a pleasant wine that you will not find easily, only in some very specialised wine shops :) — 10 years ago

Exactly what you want from a red wine. Fruit, a little earth, a little flesh, comforting tannins. — 6 years ago
