Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Made from Tourigas Nacional and Francesa, and some Tinto Roriz (Tempranillo), this is a crisp, almost lean, red that was aged in small oak barrels, about half of which were new and from Portugal. Green tea, vanilla and dark fruit blanket the nose. Through the palate it is tight as a drum, indicating that a few years may help this out. American wine consultant Jerry Luper oversaw the making of this wine.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
An oddity for this bastion of red wines and Port, this unknown white happens to be downright good and is reminiscent of Bordeaux blanc; yet it’s made from a blend of fairly obscure Portuguese white varietals. Extremely aromatic, floral and clean, it’s loaded with green-apple and lees flavor. Slightly creamy with a pleasant texture, this is one to look for.
