Adega Cartuxa Ea White 2011
Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:
A blend of 60% Roupeiro, 30% Antao Vaz, and 10% Perrum Bright and a bit smoky, almost flinty on the nose with chalky accents to the green apple and pear skin toned fruit. Juicy on entry with a fine edge if astringency underlying the bright, perfumed, apple skin and slightly nutty fruit that carries a hint of bitterness with it. Medium bodied and moderately rich in the mouth, this shows a fine edgy note and mineral persistence on the backend and through the moderately long finish. A hint of latex and something vaguely balsamic runs through this adding interesting detail Nicely balanced and well integrated. Slightly reminiscent of White Bordeaux without the wood. 87pts
