Here’s the full tasting note for...

Landcraft, Alvarinho, Vinho Branco, DOP Vinho Verde, 2023

The sub region of Monção and Melgaço on the Minho River is where the best Alvarinho in Vinho Verde originates, and the source of these grapes. The vineyard is on southwest slopes, allowing for maximum sunlight exposure and the granite soils deliver impressive intensity. Hand harvested, this is such an aromatic Alvarinho. Long stone fruit notes abound; think apricot and white peach. Eight months on the lees add real weight and a little structure to the palate. A wine made for seafood, for example grilled sardines or king prawns, where this wine will come into its own. Now-2026

"So fragrant with the scent of fennel flowers and pollen that it's like crushing wild fennel in your palm. Tight and bitter and lemony, glittery with marine and quinine. A wine for rock oysters, samphire and lemon." 16/20, 2025-2028", Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, 17th January 2025

Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.
