Quinta das Bágeiras Bairrada Branco

Medium yellow gold. Floral notes, lemon, grapefruit, apple, young peach, butter, nuts, and almond, with lively acidity and good length. Medium-bodied, with a buttery texture, and a pleasantly bitter finish. Very saline. Fresher than the bottle I had about 18 months ago. Very good value! I liked it (as opposed to my wife, who was unable to embrace the bitterness). Drink or hold, serve at 12 degrees.

Very similar to my last year's note. The medium-bodied wine was medium yellow-gold in colour and showed citrus, apple, almond, nuts, wild honey and a salty sea component on the nose and palate, joined by a Fino sherry note and pleasant mild bitterness on the finish and aftertaste, with lively acidity, a good, smooth, buttery mouthfeel and good length. Very good value! (€6.-)

The wine was medium yellow-gold in colour and offered yellow apple, pear, lactic notes, almond and nuts as well as mild spice and a salty sea component on the nose and palate, joined by Fino sherry on the finish and aftertaste, with good, lively acidity, a good, smooth mouthfeel and good length. Very appetizing. I liked it. Would buy again. The wine developed nicely over the evening and had more to it than met the eye at first glance.
