Disclaimer: This was mailed to me, and others, as a sorry for some logistical issues that happened at the Wines of Portugal tasting in San Fransisco last October where wines for the tutored tasting didn't arrive in time. I assume this was one of the wines that was supposed to be in the tasting.
I know little about this other than it appears to be about $13-ish retail and , best I can tell. It is Arinto (30%), Fernão Pires (25%), Antão Vaz (10%), Viognier (35%) according to their website. A very fresh crisp yet also full bodied palate of green apples, grass, some petrol, white pepper, and pear. A moderately long finish capped off this nice little QPR gem. This is the second Lisboa wine producer I've had in recent months that I was impressed with. A region I will have to start exploring more of.
87 Points
