Joao Portugal Ramos Description
The wine is a medium lemon color with intense aromas of white grapefruit zest combined with flint and floral notes of Paper Whites. This 100% varietal Alvarhino is elegant and engaging, with a touch of white peach skin on the palate and a long mineral finish. The partial barrel fermentation rounds out angular edges, but the racy acidity brings you back for another sip.
This mineral-driven wine makes an excellent partner for ceviche, Vietnamese-style summer rolls, Gazpacho, Greek feta, cucumber and olive salads and goat cheese & onion tart.
James Suckling: 93 Points
This is aromatic with sliced apples, lemon pith, white flowers and crushed stones. Medium- to full-bodied and round-textured with attractive, crunchy acidity cutting through. Mineral with crisp stone fruit and an energetic finish.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
The wine comes from the Monçao and Melgaço region of VInho Verde, the home of Alvarinho. It is a textured wine, poised between freshness and ripe white fruits.
