WINE ENTHUSIAST OCTOBER 2023
 90 Points - Lua Cheia Red D.O.C. Douro 2021“Produced from a field blend of old vines, this wine is balanced with great black fruits. It has a spicy touch from wood aging that gives acidity as well as tannins and structure. Drink from 2025.”
 90 Points - Séries Singulares Castelão D.O.C. Do Tejo 2021“Wood- and amphora-aged, this wine is ripe while also elegant and spicy. The wine is young but with fine potential. Drink the wine from 2026.”
 89 Points - Maria Bonita Nostalgia Alvarinho Vinho Verde D.O.C. 2022“This young Alvarinho from the north of Vinho Verde is fruity and crisp. The creaminess is developing to open out the perfumed acidity and green fruits. Drink this attractive wine from 2024.”
 88 Points - Tyto alba Red D.O.C. Do Tejo 2020“Named after the owl that lives in this protected countryside, the wine is soft and smoothly textured with just a hint of tannin. Aged in wood, it is rich and spicy, full and ready to drink.”
 88 Points - Tyto alba White D.O.C. Do Tejo 2021“Lees aging has brought out richness to this full wine. Acidity and white fruits mingle with lemon freshness. Drink now.”
 87 Points - Tyto alba Suvignon Blanc D.O.C. Do Tejo 2021“From this warm region, the Sauvignon Blanc gives a rich style. It balances tropical fruits with a more grapefruit character to give a wine that is both warm and crisp. Drink now.”
 87 Points - Maria Bonita Rosé Vinho Verde D.O.C. 2022“The first vintage of this wine is soft, rounded. Acidity and light red currant and citrus flavors give this wine poise and a crisp aftertaste. Drink now.”
Cheers!
