Again, given out local place a budget with the instructions “surprise us”.
– Delamotte 2018 BdB: clean, fresh, lemon and apple. Fresh, a crowd pleaser. 91
– Roagna Timarosso: this one had us stumped. Was it a clean white burg? Or a high level Albarino? Definitely not Italy. Honey(suckle), mineral tension, some citrus? WOTN 93+
– Niepoort Charme: went straight to Pinot Noir here, guessing burgundy. Black and red fruit, some oak, mid+ acidity. 92
– Cecile Tremblay burg rouge: great length and depth for a non village level wine. 92+

That Niepoort is extraordinary for a Douro.
