“Made of Avesso, Alvarinho e Arinto, presents a very attractive aroma, marked
by the evidence of mature fruits, but elegant, notes of white plum, pear and a
slight tropical sensation.
Likewise, in second plan, is detected a very interesting mineral touch. Fat
and with good acidity, with (much) light residual sugar favoring the taste,
everything in great proportion.”

“It would be expectable that a white which includes Alvarinho in the grapes
blending would present much more aromatic and expressive than this Casa do
Arrabalde announces, what doesn´t prevents it to show an intense minerality
in the mouth. More intense presents the Espinhosos, with similar combination,
with the surprise of Chardonnay grapes variety, a melodious white in the aromas
to which just misses a bigger nerve to achieve other levels.”

“Quite open in color, vivid in aroma, mineral flavours, notes of lime and vegetal
touch. Well achieved.
It has structure, tasty with a sweetest sensation contributing in a pleasant
way. It results well and reveals a very consensual profile.”

“Made with Avesso, Alvarinho and Arinto. This other trio also plays in a tuneful
way, here in a more Green way, more citrine, much spindly but with good
balance between the three grapes. Very well in the mouth, rounded and very
coordinated, gives a good taste and has a long final.”
Translation. João Paulo Martins, Vinhos de Portugal 2011, Publicações Dom Quixote , Setembro 2010
“A blend of Avesso, Alvarinho and Arinto, fresher and more linear than the
previous blend, with ripe fruit salad, sour greengage hints (good) and talc on a
clean, quite long finish.”
