WINE ENTHUSIAST BEST OF YEAR 2021
 91 Points - Quinta do Bronze Red D.O.C. Douro 2017“Two years in wood have produced a rich wine with powerful black fruits and generous tannins. The wine has well-judged spice, a solid texture and the beginnings of maturity. Drink this fine wine now.”
 91 Points - Pegos Claros Reserva Red D.O.C. Palmela 2017“From a vineyard of 70-year-old-vines, this wine is spicy, rich and mature. Its layers of vanilla and red fruits have softened comfortably into ripeness and density. Drink now.”
EDITORS' CHOICE
 90 Points - Maria Bonita Nostalgia Alvarinho Vinho Verde D.O.C. 2019“Ripe Alvarinho from the northern Monção and Melgaço region of Vinho Verde, this is an open, fruity wine. Its ripe texture, citrus and kiwi fruits and fine acidity all come together in a wine that is now ready to drink.”
 89 Points - Pegos Claros Blanc de Noirs D.O.C. Palmela 2020“Castelao vinified as a white wine, this is partially oak fermented and aged. The result is ripe and textured, with apple purée and spice flavors. It has a hint of toast that has broadened the wine attractively. Drink now.”
 88 Points - Claro Red D.O.C. Palmela 2020“A ripe while also light wine, this has fine acidity along with its red berry fruits and smoky aftertaste. The texture is soft, emphasizing fruits. The wine is ready to drink.”
Cheers!
