This charming blend of 93% Godello, 5% Loureiro, 3% Alvariño is aged 15 months sur lies in 24% new French oak barrels and 2,500-liter thick stave foudres.A perfume of fresh pear and white peach lead to a graceful, streamlined herbal coat, surrounded by leesy notes of toasted caramel-apple. A finish of lime blossom and chamomile add sensuality to an exotic Spanish white.
A dynamo, with wild strawberries, coffee, mocha, and blueberry pie. White pepper is subtle and tannins are sturdy, yet approachable.
A very well-made Chardonnay in relation to its price, this displays clear varietal character but in a relatively light and fresh style. Orchard fruit notes lead the way backed up with a refreshing green apple streak that provides energy to the medium-bodied flavors.
Plump plum, dried lavender, ion-tinged sweet soil, and ripe black cherry show super complexity for this value-driven red. Impressively round tannins are sparked by a glint of white pepper on the finish.
With distinct notes of mango, banana, and gardenia, barrel notes of coconut orange cream add softness on the palate.
This is such a subtle, well-made Pinot Gris. Medium in body – and distinct on this ground from most Italian Pinot Grigios – it shows delicate flavors recalling pear and white melon with sufficient balancing acidity.
This fine rosé finishes truly dry, offering a bit of grip in the finish, suggesting its pigmentation was derived from skin contact in the press. That is impressive, as is its overall performance in the under-$20 price range. Scents and flavors of strawberries and pie cherries are subtle and very pleasant.
