Awards and/or Press Quotes | |
Julia Harding in Jancis Robinson 18.5/20 | “Bright orangey gold. More walnut than almond here. Amazing complexity and depth. Even higher acidities in Barbeito wines than in any other producers. Bright orangey gold. Gorgeous caramelised orange and apricot and a slight nuttiness. Barley sugar, grapefruit. Beautiful – so much energy and life and length. Mouthwatering and full of flavours the colour of burnt umber. Intensely tangy long finish. Quite a grip at the very end – tannins?” |
