I love green wine in general. This one is better than most that you can get in the US. — 4 years ago

Succulent, sappy and refreshing. Lovely ripe fruit notes, some mineral dust and lemon curd... this is really a great wine to sip in the sun, to accompany to large bowl of salad or some grilled fish. You choose.
Highly recommended, wonderful value for money. — 6 years ago

Tasted at Covela's historic estate—a Renaissance manor that sits frozen in time, poised at the mouth of the Douro Valley, along a southern-facing amphitheater robed in lush greenery. The 2013 Escolha Branco is a blend of Avesso and Chardonnay, with a few years of age, offers perfumy aromas of dried honey and orange blossom. Barrel fermentation lends texture, refinement and creaminess. This is a balanced, poetic wine, bright and fresh with delicate mineral filaments wending in and out of stone fruit.

Smells of pears. Citrus fruit with low acidity but not flabby. This is the best wine with spicy food. Usually wine is astringent and bitter after eating spicy food but this wine maintains its flavors and even tastes a touch of creaminess. — 5 years ago

Quite a creative label...really nice wine...high end Vinho Verde from the granite soil rich region of Boston...the name was inspired by the Olo River. Made up of Alvarinho, Trajadura, Avesso and Arinto. Quite an elegant and pure wine...loving the work that people are putting into making Vinho Verde better. — 7 years ago

Kissed with honeysuckle and orange blossom, Quinta de Covela's 2013 Reserva Branco is an elegant cuvée of Avesso, Arinto, Chardonnay, and Viognier. Fermented at low temperatures in French and Austrian oak barrels for 14 months, this exceptional blend receives lees contact and it's nicely integrated, lending body, soft texture and balance. Mineral and saline notes gracefully co-mingle with citrus fruit and dried pineapple, meandering to a long, splendid finish. Sample — 8 years ago

Mineral, slight acidity. Grapefruit, pomegranate. Drank it on the same night as a chablis - for a third of the price, puts the chablis to shame — 9 years ago
