Winery Review: 

-"A blend of 40% Arinto, 30% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura and 10% Azal.

Full of fruit, a lasting peach flavor targeted with laserlike acidity through the finish. It has the bite of salty ocean air and a lot of zing. For langoustines." 

My Review:

-86 Points

-I did not really care for this wine. On the nose, I got hints of peach and rubber. To the taste, this wine was really bitter, almost woodsy and very citrusy. This wine was hot on the finish. I was very surprised to learn that it had received a rating of 92 from Wine & Spirits. I tried this wine on its own without food.
