"With the color of bright citrine, the bouquet is intense, dominated by citrus fruits and the floral aromas characteristic of the Loureiro grape. On the palate this wine is vibrant and balanced with a refreshing acidity that anticipates a good evolution. While this wine is ready to drink, it will also age well in its first few years." —winemaker

"The 2021 Loureiro is the winery's classic version—meaning "unoaked." It comes in at 11.6% alcohol, less than 1.5 grams of sugar and 7.3 of total acidity. This was only in bottle about two weeks, but I was assured it was showing well. Well, it's a little disjointed, but you can see all the stuffing there to make a classic Ameal, including the big acidity, silky texture and subtle concentration. This is something that should age well, as always, but it will get better. Hopefully, it settles into the right place. For all of its bottling issues, it is in a better place now than the bigger 2019 Reserva. As time goes on, they may separate more, in favor of the 2019; but for the moment, this is as strong competitor. There were 43,800 bottles produced." —Wine Advocate

Aveleda Vinho Verde White

"Aveleda is produced in our winery with grapes from the Vinho Verde region — the most extensive in Portugal. The careful temperature control during the winemaking process produces a wine that is slightly citrine in color, clear and bright. Its gentle and fruity aroma gives it a smooth, delicate flavor." —winemaker

Jose Maria da Fonseca Jose de Sousa 2017

36874
"The José de Sousa Rosado Fernandes Cellar was founded in 1878 and was purchased by José Maria da Fonseca in 1986, fulfilling an old dream of producing wine in Alentejo, in an estate full of prestige and history. The estate is located in Reguengos de Monsaraz, and it is here that a 2.000 year old Roman tradition is kept alive. The José de Sousa Cellar owns 114 ceramic amphorae in which an ancient fermentation method takes place. Dark red with some depth, the Jose de Sousa shows aromas of dates, chocolate, oak, some vanilla, fig, and spices. On the palate, the wine is fruity, velvety, with good tannins, some complexity and a good acidity." —winemaker

Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel

"For years, Bogle winemakers have sought out vines ranging in age from 60 to 80 years old for the Old Vine Zinfandel. These gnarly head-trained and dry farmed pioneers produce low yields of small, concentrated clusters of fruit, producing incredibly intense and flavorful wines. This Zinfandel has notes of raspberries, peppercorns, juniper, dried herbs and vanilla." —winemaker
