For The Love Of Port

2008 Altano Branco Douro
Amazingly I had this and the 2009 version a few times while in Portugal and I never managed to take a forum note on it, doh! What I can say was I really enjoyed this wine and I was quite bummed to hear there isn’t sufficient quantities of it to export to the USA. For those of you who are able to buy it, I highly recommend it.

So what style of white is it/ Similar to my Portal note?

Bob, Sorry about not getting back sooner. Off the top of my head I am not sure what all the grapes are in it, but yes, it would be close to what you described in your note.

On of my favorite everyday whites I tasted on the Harvest tour. Really nice mouth feel, fresh and vibrant. Has an unusual and pleasent mix of grapes if you're use to drinking Chard's.

Here are my short tasting notes made during lunch at Quinta do Vesuvio 7th October 2010 (FTLOP Harvest Tour):
(In my notes it says 2009):

Light yellow-green colour. Fresh aroma on the dry side.
Taste being a nice combination of fruit and dryness.
A very good white wine with food and on it's own.
89 pts.

If it will be available on the Norwegian market, I will definitely buy some.
