"Sehr stark von Birne geprägtes Bouquet eines Alvarinho der enorm auf fruchtige Eleganz setzt. Die Struktur tendiert mehr ins Rassige, bietet aber auch gekonnten Schmelz. Am Gaumen gesellen sich aromatisch Melone, Apfel und Pfirsich dazu. Ausgesprochen trinkanimierendes Finale."

"Typically creamy yet also crisply fruity, this rounded wine is shot through with tight acidity. It has delicious fruitiness, a touch of minerality and youthful freshness. Hold off drinking this wine until 2019. Roger Voss"

"Because this producer is in the southern Minho region, away from the northern Alvarinho vineyards, the wine is registered as Minho rather than Vinho Verde. But it has the same fine fruit and creamy richness that is typical of this grape. It could age a little longer, so wait until late 2017."

"An Alvarinho that comes from the southern Minho, close to the Douro River, this is a perfumed, ripe and richly textured wine. Pear and green plum fruits are combined with fine acidity and tangy lemon zest minerality to create a fresh while rich wine. Drink from late 2016."

"Klares Duftbild mit verhaltener Frucht von Apfel und Quitte. Frisch-würzig nach Nanaminze und Minze. Erfreulich kräftiger Gaumen mit vollmundigem, konzentriertem Extrakt, milder Säure und phenolischer Ader. Anhaltendes süßlich-mildes Finale. Kraftvoller Weißer aus Portugals Norden."
