Acclaim
“Although this wine is labeled Loureiro, the blend holds a touch of Alvarinho. The result is a crisp wine with an attractive tangy character as well as good acidity. A richer edge gives the wine weight and intensity.” (Best Buy)
— Wine Enthusiast, Nov 2018
“Light-bodied, but with a round profile, this white shows creamy lemon, peach and floral notes edged with spice details and salty acidity, offering a clean finish.”
— Wine Spectator, May 2018
