TOP 100 BEST BUYS OF 2012/#94: “Herbaceous and richly crisp, its acidity is tangy with mineral undertones and bright green-and white-fruit flavors. This is delicious and fruity, with a great final zing.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Nov 2012
“The 2011 Branco Tons, sourced from vines averaging 20-30 years in the Northern Cima Corgo at an altitude of 400-600 meters, is a tank fermented blend of 30% Viosinho, 25% Rabigato, 20% Verdelho, 20% Arinto and 5% Moscatel. This is just the second vintage of this Branco. There is not a lot of depth or persistence here, but it has more than enough solidity for its price range. This is a perfect warm weather wine, crisp and invigorating, with some herbaceous aromatics and some distinctive flavors, perhaps a touch of grapefruit, a touch of melon and fair bit of cut grass.”
— Mark Squires, Apr 2013
