2011: all varieties. Meaty, lavender, garden herbs, smoky, but still very vibrant red fruit. Lovely vibrancy of red fruit and all Mouvedre and Grenache aromatics. Sweet fruit, juicy acidity, hot indian spice and liquorice. Plum, cherry, spiced. Quite ready now. — 11 years ago

Sogrape Vinhos

Gazela Vinho Verde White Blend

A lush "vinho verde" - or green wine! Beats Casal Garcia and Santola. Very fresh tasting. Easily drink several bottles on a hot sunny day at lunch! Has a great little "fizz" feeling on the tongue. — 12 years ago
