Orange wine but leans more red than white. Dry, interesting. — 2 years ago
Reminiscent of orange marmalade with almonds, hints of cinnamon and raisin; boozy. Cheaper bottle of port, but potential for a couple years of aging, I’d guess. — 3 years ago
Crystal clear, nice minerality. — 4 years ago
Delicious Portuguese white with cracking acidity and juicy citrus undercurrents. Great find from #weygandtwines — 5 years ago
A young wine, with Gouveio, Viosinho and Malvasia. Citrine colour, an atractivo nose, intense, with notes of tropical fruit and a light floral sweetness. The palate is soft — 5 years ago
A brighter Touriga with very nice balance. Excellent value. — 6 years ago
44% rabigato, 29% viosinho, 24% gouveio, 1% Fernão Pires — 2 years ago
Wasn’t sure what to expect, but very pleasantly surprised. This is good. Nose slightly of linseed oil, sugar cookie, marzipan, and mulled apple (maybe). Good tannin. Oily and thick mouth feel. Palate is similar. — 2 years ago
I really like this young and fresh wine. Kind of like a heavier pinot noir, but not really heavy in tannins. I would get this and pair it with a lot of different foods. — 3 years ago

This wine needs to breathe a bit to enjoy fully. This white blend is made from hand-selected Encruzado (50%) Malvasia Fina (30%) and Gouveio (20%) grapes. A blend of Encruzado, which brings loads of citrus, minerality, and rich texture, Verdelho, lending spice, and the highly aromatic grape Malvasia. The combination is complex, with flavors ranging from creamy-citrus to flinty-mineral. An excellent introduction to Portuguese white wine, and a solid choice if you're in need of a little excitement in the white wine area. — 4 years ago
Complex and - no surprise, Port-y notes!!! Refreshing and rich alternative to my favorite wines which always taste like rocks — 6 years ago
Field blend of Rabigato, Códega do Larinho, Viosinho, Donzelinho and Gouveio from 80 years old vines on schist soils. Vineyard on the right bank of the Douro River, in the prime Cima Corgo zone, at an altitude of 400-600 metres. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 6 months in oak. Clean, precise nose with citrus (tangerine), floral notes and and subtle oak. Fresh, linear, medium bodied, dry. Good minerality and acidity. Very tasty — 2 years ago

Solera? Skin contact?
Orange peel, ginger, salted lemon — 4 years ago
This was a perfect accompaniment to baked cod. It is mellow and doesn't overpower but still has plenty of personality. Enjoyed it with just a slight chill on it. I think serving temperature is key to appreciating this one. — 5 years ago
Totally my style. Clean. Light. Low oak. Balance. Racy acidity. Citrus explosion. €7? — 5 years ago

Quite pleased here, ~$25; Blind this is a pretty decent Bourgogne Blanc, 91-92 points.
Blend appears to be Viosinho, Gouveio & Rabigato. — a year ago
