Stags Leap Chardonnay 2016

Apricot, loquat, and gooseberries in the aromas that creates water in the mouth.

Super lively, spicy, it is a whirlwind of ripe stone fruit. It has kilos of gooseberry. It's brutal. There's even the butter biscuit to chew virtually. Infinite ending.

Ratting: ★★★★☆

La Marimorena Albariño 2016

And the discovery around Caja Rojo continues.

This Albariño shows aromas composed of crystals, grass and lime.

Very lemonish, slightly crunchy, very, very, citrus and mineral crystals, releasing balsamic sensation in the end. Appealing, refreshingly quiet.

Good to hit the summer.

Ratting: ★★★☆☆

Soalheiro Primeiras Vinhas 2015

And finally I discovered Portuguese Wine in Singapore. After putting my mouth in an Alentejo region wine at a Portuguese restaurant that filled my soul, I managed to find two distributors to put my hands on liquid processed in my homeland.

Fine and refined aroma. Lime, apricot, some orange and cantaloupe.

Delicate in the mouth. Lemon zest, refined, rather than bold and bulky. The lemon evaporates quickly in the front but then is crossed by the apricot. On the lower edges of the cheeks there are drips of cantaloupe. Possess character, with a light freshness, that is a a little overshadowed by the lack of crispiness,  perhaps, due to haulage conditions. It made my day however.

Ratting: ★★★☆☆
