"All the attributes of a Douro white wine according to Jancis Robinson!
"Fresh citrus and pear with an attractive stony/dusty freshness and no oak impression. A very subtle floral note of white blossom. On the palate, the wine is lively but complemented by a slightly creamy texture. Pure, fresh and appetizing, with a slight chalky note on the finish. All the attributes of a young, lively Douro white wine, ready now but not rushed. 2024-2026" (Jancis Robinson 2024)
