Talking About the Wines:

-Vinous Media, June '21 gave 92 points to 2017 Finca Misenhora. “Limpid yellow. Incisive green apple and lemon zest aromas show fine clarity and a suave floral topnote. Silky and focused on the palate, offering intense orchard and citrus fruit flavors and a refreshingly bitter touch of quinine. Concentrated but lively as well, delivering strong, mineral-driven persistence and repeating florality.”

-International Wine Review, Jan '21 gave 92 points to 2017 Finca Misenhora. "Medium yellow straw. Beginning with a bouquet that evokes pear and hints of tropical fruit along with a twist of lemon, the Finca Misenhora is full in the mouth with good concentration of attractive ripe fruit flavors. A very pretty, easy drinking wine of some delicacy and superb balance. A blend of 90% Treixadura, 5% Godello and 5% Albariño sourced from the estate’s highest vineyards in the Avia Valley; aged on the lees for 6 months."

-A View From the Cellar, Nov - Dec '20 gave 93 points to 2017 Finca Misenhora. “The 2017 Finca Misenhora Blanco from Casal de Armán is a vineyard selection, made from this relatively high altitude vineyard, planted on a combination of granite, slate and sandy topsoils. The wine is ninety percent Treixadura and five percent each of Albariño and Godello. Unlike the Finca Os Loureiros bottling, this wine does not see any oak and is fermented and raised entirely in stainless steel, to give a quite different expression to the vineyard. The wine offers up a beautiful bouquet of green apple, green olive, salty minerality, a touch of lime peel, dried flowers and a touch of Chablis-like straw tones. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, bright and complex, with a lovely core, excellent mineral drive, zesty acids and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. Just a beautiful bottle."
