Aphros
Loureiro Bruto Reserva White Blend
Vinho Verde, Minho, Portugal
Deep gold, like burnished gold leaf, the Aphros Loureiro Reserva Bruto 2009 boasts an oxidative quality that reminds me of Jacques Selosse Champagnes. Decidedly autumnal aromas of baked apple and poached pear are enlivened by a dried orange top note. In the mouth, it's all soul and soil, sensually earthy layers and leesy wet dough flavors are bolstered by vivid white grapefruit, saline and iodine that make up the arching spine of this unexpectedly delicious sparkling Loureiro. 12.0% ABV | Sample
