Coroa Vermelha Branco/Encosta do Sobral Selection Branco Case: 3 bottles each:, 2022

Encosta do Sobral Selection Branco, Vinho Regional Tejo
This white blend of Arinto, Fernão Pires and Verdelho from the Tejo is crafted in a firm, medium-bodied style. With a little time in glass, bright citrus notes give way to riper stone fruit nuances on the nose and palate. Brisk acidity lifts and elongates the finish. 2023-2026–JB

Coroa Vermelha, Branco, DOC Douro
While the Douro region of northern Portugal is best known for its heady Port wines and bold reds, its white wines are increasingly drawing rave reviews. This 2021 cuvée is a fine case in point. Aromatic and bold with vibrant crisp acidity and refreshing bitters on the finish. Try decanting half an hour before serving to allow the wine to open further. 2023-2026–JB
