2022 Joao Portugal Ramos Alvarinho [JS92][WE90]

Producer: Joao Portugal Ramos Region: Vinho Verde, Portugal Varietal: Alvarinho (Albariño) Year: 2022  James Suckling, 92 Points  "Pretty nose of chopped apples, pineapple and grapefruit, with some sea breeze. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and fruity, with a creamy texture and a long, salty finish."  Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points  "From the north of the Vinho Verde region, this is a ripe, creamy wine. Its green fruits are fresh, providing contrast to the wine's richness."  Winemaker Notes:  "The wine is a medium lemon color with intense aromas of white grapefruit zest combined with flint and floral notes of Paper Whites. This 100% varietal Alvarhino is elegant and engaging, with a touch of white peach skin on the palate and a long mineral finish. The partial barrel fermentation rounds out angular edges, but the racy acidity brings you back for another sip."  Alcohol: 13%  *Price and availability in store may vary.
