Garnatxa Blanca
Reg. $21.99 On Sale $16.99
The Garnatxa Blanca is 100% Grenache Blanc from a mix of young and old vines that is solely done in stainless steel tanks but they stir the lees for body and complexity. The wine is refreshing and deliciously complex; notes of under ripe stone fruit, melon, Asian pear and golden apple give way to balanced acidity and subtle minerality.
Esporão
Colheita White
Reg. $21.99 15% Off $18.69
This lip smacking white is a blend of Antão Vaz, Viosinho, Alvarinho, Vermentino and others; what’s important is that the wine was done in concrete vats with aging on the lees for about four months for texture. The finished wine is one of my current favorites and has medium body, lots of texture and notes of pear, beeswax, lemon zest and white flowers.
Esporão
Assobio Blend
Reg. $16.99 15% Off $14.44
Assobio is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz that only sees a smidge of oak. It is bright, easy drinking and bursting with notes of sour cherry, dried herbs and balanced earthiness. If you are looking for wines that over deliver for the price look no further than Portugal!
