Talking About the Wines:

​

-Wine Spectator, Oct '22 gave 90 points to 2020 Eira dos Mouros (white). “A delicate overtone of elderflower is layered with a mineral-laced underpinning and flavors of nectarine, white cherry, lime sorbet and graphite in this bright, elegant white.”

​

-Dr. Owen Bargreen, Oct '21 gave 92 points to 2020 Eira dos Mouros (white).  "The 2020 Eira Dos Mouros shows really good tension and softness mid-palate. Shades of Marcona almond, wild mushroom and tobacco leaf all brilliantly combine on the palate. With beautiful length this outstanding 100% Treixadura wine will cellar well for another eight years."

​

-Wine & Spirits Magazine, Aug '21 gave 92 points to 2019 Eira dos Mouros (white).  “Succulent lime and green pear flavors last through this floral treixadura. It has just enough richness to feel elegant, then the fruit lasts along with mild smokiness in the finish. For shellfish, whether raw or lightly poached.”
