part of the monthly threesome from
cheers.co.il wine club.
wines i didn't pick but are supposedly choosed according to my taste.

i let my son cover them in tinfoil then i open and try to guess.

this one is a north Portuguese white blend made from three indigenous varieties :
bical, cercial and sercialinho

12.5% abv

medium + to full body with mostly citrus variety and hinted stone fruit.
it's power and lack of tropics made me guess it's 🇫🇷 sauvignon blanc. but its so sharp i was thinking chablis is another option.
it's so balanced i thought maybe some oak sorted it all out.
i was confused but impressed.

impressive punch all in all.

paired well with medicore Asian take away of sushi, pad thai and plain white rice.

great vfm (around 100 nis) — 6 years ago

No puedo evitar regresar a los tintos, no dudo que en verano me gustan mas los vinos rosados que los blancos, pero los tintos son mi perdición, les bajo la temperatura entre 16° y 18°C los disfruto mucho, una noche fresca, un buen trozo jugoso de carne, ensalada de tomate, lechuga, palta, un buen aliño con finas hierbas, ¡listo! En vista: color rojo, violáceo, nariz: frutos del bosque, negros y rojos, boca: equilibrado, complejo, persistencia media larga, se deja tomar, calidad precio buena, Saludos #winelover #pisco — 6 years ago

Сорта бикаль, серсиаль, серсиалинью. Белая Португалия. Зрелые желтые яблоки, лимонная цедра, белые персики, айва, минеральность (кремний), лёгкий сливочный тон. Высокая кислотность, среднее тело. Сбалансированное, свежее, вполне комплексное. Очень хорошее вино за свои деньги. — 8 years ago

The 2011 blend is 36% Mourvèdre, 32% Grenache, and 32% Syrah. New Year’s Eve afternoon on the patio in Carmel, CA overlooking the beach. Lovin’ the Mourvèdre funk. — 8 years ago

What a great wine with 20% of it with oak contact.

Floral, fruity and slight influence from the oak, but nothing too aggressive.

In our Alvarinho region, people tend to not like oak influence on the wine.

This one is very subtle and has a great balance. An amazing wine!

Enormous. This has stuffing for excellent drinking in the now-to-5-years range but I'm not sure its built for the long haul. Give it good long decant and get it below room temp. — 9 years ago
