WINE ENTHUSIAST FEBRUARY/MARCH 2026
 92 Points - Andreza Vinha Vale de Mendiz Red D.O.C. Douro 2019“The wine's bold red fruits and layered tannins are now mature. From the Vale Mendiz in the Pinhão Valley, the wine has a black chocolate aroma and a textured, mineral character, it is now ready to drink.” EDITORS' CHOICE
 90 Points - Andreza Altitude Red D.O.C. Douro 2021“Ripe black fruits from high altitude vineyards give this wine a textured character. It has a cinnamon aroma giving spice to the blackberry fruits and acidity. Drink the wine from later this year.”
 89 Points - Maria Bonita Nostalgia Vinho Verde D.O.C. 2024“A ripe and creamy wine, with a soft, citrus character, this is tangy and fresh. The wine's lime juice aroma and its light texture come together well in a wine that will be ready later this year.”
 88 Points - Maria Papoila Loureiro/Alvarinho Vinho Verde D.O.C. 2024“A crisp and fruity blend of Alvarinho and Loureiro, the wine is fresh, packed with citrus flavors. It has a ripe edge to it that is reflected in the wine's kiwi aroma. Drink now.” BEST BUY
 88 Points - Maria Bonita Loureiro Vinho Verde D.O.C. 2024“A wine full of soft fruits and a light texture, this is refreshing while balancing apple and white peach flavors. A white fruit and citrus acidity add to the wine's fruitiness. Drink now.” BEST BUY
 88 Points - Andreza Altitude White D.O.C. Douro 2024“A classic Douro white, textured and mineral, this shows cool white fruits and a breath of freshness. The wine, with its acidity and lemon aroma, is full of fruit and ready to drink.”
 87 Points - Maria Bonita Rosé Vinho Verde D.O.C. 2024“A fresh wine with a red currant aroma and bright tangy fruits, this is a lively rosé from northern Portugal. It has tight acidity with a touch of lemon zest and raspberry flavors. Drink now.”
Cheers!
