"The 2023 Encostas Do Lima Xisto Vinho Verde comes all from schist soils and is based on 100% Loureiro,and it too was brought up all in tank. It has a touch more stone fruit, ripe lemon, and crushed stone notes in a more medium-bodied, round, supple style that's absolutely delicious. It's perfect for near term drinking."
- Jeb Dunnuck (Importer Highlight: Fran Kysela ; July 2024), 90 pts
"The Schist, like its sibling, Granite, is a light and refreshing white wine in the style of Portugal’s vinho verde, with a little extra intensity than the category is known for. The Schist is expansive on the nose and palate, with creamy texture and fragrant flavors of orange blossom and mango. - Dave McIntyre"
