Graça da Pedra Alvarinho 2022

The 2022 Graça da Pedra Alvarinho shows a more complex and nuanced nose, still varietal and fruit-driven but with a more polished palate and integrated acidity. It's ready to be enjoyed now. They produced 70,000 bottles.

A lightly honeyed version, this is at first succulent on the palate, offering poached pear and apricot fruit. But this firms up through the midpalate, with well-cut acidity alongside almond skin, lemon pith and mineral notes. Modest finish. Drink now. 1,500 cases imported.

Lovely fresh fruits like pears and peaches on the nose, with some seashell. It’s medium-bodied and saline with a clean, balanced finish. Drink now.
