Alvarinho Terras de Monção Reserva 2020

Just not to my taste

This is a classy Albariño, but sadly, too fruity for our liking (we do not like NZ Sav Blanc for the same reason?). It’s a classic case of “it’s not you it’s me” and it is clearly a really nice wine, but I’m afraid it was two bottles wasted fir us - I’m so sorry!!

It's OK.... very drinkable with a clean crisp taste that should suit most palates. Does it taste as deep, strong and complex as I'd expect from a 13% white? No....

Perfectly acceptable, but comparable many that are a good 30% cheaper.

Tart, very tasty, went down a treat, regret putting a bit in my paella because I couldn’t just drink it!

Really good with spicy food.

Too dry for me

Another not quite there for the FWC category. But thank you for the experience. Me & Mrs still remain divided over Albariño as a whole. As far as the bottle design goes completely impractical for fridge storage situation however love the lengthy neck reminding me of sunny days sipping in the Mediterranean where these come as standard so appreciate that distinction when having a case arrive. Sampled alongside prawns and plenty of garlic.

Not to my taste; quite acidic, missing the everesance of many vinho verdes.

Another delightful aromatic but also lovely on the palate.
