  Adriano Estate Bottled White 2005

  Snoothrank: Starting at $23^.10

  Viozinho, Rabigato, and Arinto Melon and wet hay scents. Tangy with a tiny bit of turpentine flavor, and a long, warm finish.

Read moreLight white gold in color with a beautiful, gorgeous, and sensuous white flower, passion fruit and bbq smoke on the nose that draws you in from a mile away. Incredibly fresh with a touch of creamy herbal notes as well. Vibrant in the mouth with a juicy medium body mouthfeel and an addictive honey, minerals and more passionfruit on the finish. Add a touch of canned pineapple and you've got a lovely wine that I would happily pair either with a goat cheese and walnut salad or simply alone.    (hide)

Almost smokey on the nose, it's like the night after the fire mixed with minerals and faint citrus. Light touches of grass and goosberry sit in the background. Great acidity in the mouth of this fleshy wine that seems to make me salivate. Juicy and full of sweet tart flavors, lemony citrus, and a touch of exotic pineapple and passion fruit. Not a blunt wine but rather something that makes you delve into it to fully understand it. Wow.    (hide)

Read moreThis was our first Vinho Verde, and I am now just itching to try a red Vinho ... of Loureiro, Trajadura, Arinto grapes and has only 9% alcohol content. The Gazela had a fruity and floral nose. It tasted a bit like watermelon and tart apples. The small bubbles added a refreshing quality to it. It was a palate cleanser, and very crisp. We're eager to see how it holds up overnight. The taste for value factor here is huge    (hide)

  Quinta da Romeira Arinto Bucelas 2004

  Snoothrank:

  Golden flashes over a pale yellow color. Nose and palate are very Frascatti-like, with very high acidity, green notes all around and a nice match for a fish and shrimp barbecue. [86]

  Filipa Pato Bairrada Ensaios Filipa Pato 2005

  Snoothrank:

  Another great experiment from Filipa Pato. 50% Arinto and 50% Bical. The racy acidity from the Arinto and the creamyness and mineralilty from the bical were blended to result in a three dimensional wine. Pale yellow with green nuances, the wine is shy, delicate and elegant in the... Read moreAnother great experiment from Filipa Pato. 50% Arinto and 50% Bical. The racy acidity from the Arinto and the creamyness and mineralilty from the bical were blended to result in a three dimensional wine. Pale yellow with green nuances, the wine is shy, delicate and elegant in the nose. A food wine. Live, fresh and balanced but at the same time soft and savory, very interesting wine. [87]    (hide)
