Another stunner from the Terra Alta Do, Edetària yields an untethered expression of Garnatxa Blanca. Animale, cantaloupe peel, and dried pear pave way to apollenous, expansive mid-palate that's rustic and refined at once. A pleasant tahini-like bitterness adds complexity to the finish. — 7 years ago
Interesting wine with a great cost x benefit. Smooth, fresh and fruity. — 8 years ago
Great with our Mexican meal at Toucan Resort. Definite do over. I hope they have it at the LCBO in Ontario. — 8 years ago

Rating my second bottle of 2009. First was sometime 2014/15. This is so heavy, driven by deep dark cherry fruit and so much forest floor it reminds me of Brunello. Not as elegant as 2007 and 2008 vintages. But still very likable and I do like many of Eric’s wines (Terra Nuema, Dierke and his Riesling, namely) — 7 years ago

Now we're getting serious.....
Wow......fantastic bottle,, but still has room to grow! Had a bunch of tannins yet, and showed lots of earth, exhibiting some wonderful fruits but not fully developed at its open, but a half hour later was just luscious. Have more, and glad I do! — 7 years ago
Um vinho do Dão, puro, sem artifícios, um vinho que tem a "terra" toda. — 9 years ago
Texture! Had me at the first sip. High extract and a little bitter initially... Paired with an oily fish (pesto or rich sauce would also do) and this becomes a winner. #texture #macabeu #terraalta #mendal — 9 years ago
Dense and dark red 👁️
Cherry, pear and some petrol 👃
High acidity.
Lemon tartness at first with some dark red fruit with hints of cloves and nutmeg. After a bit the soft and pleasent wood dryness arrives.
Medium body and a Light dry 🎯
Paired well with tomato pie, Arabic salad with tahini and a variety of latkes.
A pleasant one with good vfm (65 nis as part of a half case of Portuguese variety)
That strong tartness would make it a very gastronomic wine. Would work with everything.
Last try of the different Portuguese varaiety. All were more then decent and dead cheap. — 6 years ago
Solid, not spectacular. Smooth, rich, chocolate-y. Would do again, wouldn’t go crazy for — 7 years ago
I tried this wine alongside a bunch of very good Barolos. A tough crowd from which to differentiate one. But this wine managed to do so by virtue of its extraordinary freshness: like sniffing a jar of Italian herbs that have had a bunch of cherries thrown in for good measure. A very unusual Nebbiolo but a fascinating one for sure. I'm eager to try other vintages of this singular wine. — 7 years ago
More complex than the initial Portuguese wine we tried. Quite heavy but really interesting. Tasted great. — 8 years ago
More like a crianza than a reserva. Good for easy drinking with nibbles although im sure it would match bold tomato or meaty flavours nicely too. Do watch out for DO Terras Altas, this is a typically excellent example of some of its wonderful offerings. Available in Spain for less than 6€ and worth that plus nosequé more! — 8 years ago
Delicated carignan from DO Terra Alta, softness and lovely red fruits, balanced acidity, salty notes... — 9 years ago

This yellow-gold wine has aromas that are more herbal than floral, with savory dill bolstering the citrus and stone fruit. The palate carries much citrus along with savory balsamic notes. Acidity is great, and makes for a lively pairing with a variety of salads and seafood. — 6 years ago
