"#11 Top 100 Wines of Portugal: Charming and precise. Struck match and dried lemons on the nose, with subtle layers of dried herbs. The medium- to full-bodied palate is saline, textural and incisive, showing great balance between fruit, acidity and phenolic grip. 36% bical, 28% fernao pires, 14% dona branca, 11% encruzado and 11% malvasia fina. Fermented and aged in French oak. From two old vineyards in Nelas and Gouveia, this shows real depth. Drink or hold."
