2018 Lima Vinho Verde - 88 PTS & BEST BUY - W&S

wine and spirits logo 250"With the nutty richness of cashews and Macintosh apples at its core, this wine has developed some fusel-oil character with a year in bottle. It’s supple and ready to drink with pan-roasted sole. - Joshua Greene."

2020 Lima Vinho Verde - 90 PTS - W&S

wine and spirits logo 250"A fruit-driven style of Vinho Verde, this emphasizes its pineapple, mango and papaya flavors, like a fruit salsa with a little salinity at the edge. Concentrated and pleasantly sweet, for grilled fish."

Lima Vinho Verde - 89 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"The NV Encostas Do Lima Adamado Medium Dry Vinho Verde is beautiful, with a Riesling-like sense of minerality in its lime and citrus-driven profile. Medium-bodied and vibrant, with bright acidity,balancing sweetness, and a great finish, it's based on 90% Loureiro and the rest equal parts Trajadura and Arinto, brought up all in tank. It's a terrific value."

Lima Vinho Verde - GREAT VALUE - WP

wplogo"This is labeled “medium dry,” but don’t let that deter you. Any sweetness is barely perceptible against the racy acidity and flavors and peaches, nectarines and limes. The blend is loureiro and trajadura. This winery makes two terroir-themed wines labeled Granite and Schist, reflecting the dominant soils of the region. They are worth seeking out."
