Awards and Recommendations: 2020 Mundus Vini Spring Tasting, Germany – Gold; Challenge International du Vin, France – Gold; 2019 International Wine Challenge, UK – Gold; Decanter World Wine Awards, UK – Bronze, 87/100 PTS, “Expressive nose of dominant oak, lime cordial and smokiness. Bold oaky flavours, stonefruit underneath, butterscotch finish.” Wine Enthusiast, Roger Voss, USA – 87/100 PTS, “A soft, open wine, lightly fruity and with clean, spice and white‑fruit flavours. The wine is gently textured with hints of wood ageing and is ready to drink.” 2018 Robert Parker – Wine Advocate, Mark Squires, USA – 89/100 PTS; 2017 Wine & Spirits Magazine, Joshua Greene, USA – 89/100 PTS, “The golden colour predicts both the wine’s powerful concentration as well as its oak‑driven flavours. While there are some wood tannins present in the finish, there is also firm acidity and enough substance to carry this until those tannins subside. Give it a year or two to meld.” Concurso Vinhos de Portugal – Silver; Paixão pelo Vinho magazine – 16/20 PTS, “Very good, rich and elegant, to be enjoyed at full maturity.” Revista Adega, Eduardo Milan, Brazil – 91/100 PTS, “Worth noting are the floral and herbaceous notes that envelop aromas of fresher citrus and tropical fruit, followed by mineral and sweet spice hints. Structured and pleasant to drink, it has good mouth volume, creamy texture, vibrant acidity and a persistent finish, with saline touches and Persian lime.” Revista de Vinhos, Manuel Moreira, Portugal – 17.5/20 PTS, “Elegant notes in the aroma, delicate fruit, lemony and anise, beautiful structure, full of vivacity and thoughtfulness. Medium‑quality palate, acidity and fruit in harmony, finish with spices, honey, and mineral hints.” Vinho Grandes Escolhas, Nuno Oliveira Garcia, Portugal – 16.5/20 PTS, “Very good in aroma, fully integrated and with the varieties assimilated, no wood overlay. Citrus fruit, light floral, all very balanced. Keeps a well‑matched profile in the mouth, notes of ripe lemon, some vegetal nuance, good overall acidity, frank, and a convincing finish.”
