“The 2016 Contraste Branco is a field blend fermented in stainless steel tanks (70%) and new French oak barrels (30%). It comes in at 13% alcohol. This handles its modest wood treatment (70% stainless steel, the rest used wood) perfectly. It is barely noticeable. It has good volume for the level and the good freshness I anticipate here, too. Its round and relatively concentrated and full feel is impressive at its level this year, but it is always elegant, too. There is good acidity supporting everything. Then, it finishes with some tension and some traces of herbs. This should age well for the level in good years like this and the 2015. I do like to be conservative in such things, so we'll take that a bit slowly for the moment, while noting that they may surprise us.” (Wine Advocate, 90/100)

“Fresh and driven, with citrus and crunchy pear notes framed with herb and spice accents. Mouthwatering acidity highlights the mineral and zest details on the finish.” (Wine Spectator, 88/100)

“Rabigato, Côdega do Larinho, Códega, and Arinto. Granite soils. Made from a 10-year-old vineyard on a small granite plateau (600 m above sea level) in the commune of Freixo de Numão, 15 km to the west of Foz Côa. Grapes are refrigerated, and then pressed in pneumatic press. Cold decanting, then fermentation in barrels and stainless-steel tanks with controlled temperature and regular batônnage until one month before bottling. Six months in new and used oak French oak barrels (30% of the wine) and stainless-steel tank (70%) with regular bâtonnage. Chalky citrus aroma with some green fruits and pear. Bone dry, chalky like Chablis, then more fruity on the palate, lime and a salty, mouth-watering finish.” (Jancis Robinson, 16/20)
