Adega de Pegões (a place almost only known because there was a huge straight road in the ld national road that connected the Algarva with the rest of the country) has been surprising me a lot lately.
First it was their rosé and now this fantastic white.
Very fruity, very fresh, very easy to drink, and most of all, i bought it for 1, 56 € from the local supermarket......
I rate it a good 90%

Grandjó
I am getting into white wines.
In fact I am getting into wines (dot).
I think that it is not the food or whatever it is you are having the wine with. It is the momentum that makes this or that wine perfect for the occasion.
Tis wine is quite fruity (moscatel is well noticed here) and fresh.
Very balanced, very smooth I have to

Marquês de Borba Branco
Evrybody know the Marquês de Borba Tinto (red), it is indeed one of the most known wines in portugal.
Coming from J. Portugal Ramos one can nly expect good stuff.
In fact this white is absolutely ecquilibrated, very mild to the nose, very mild to the muse.
Extremely smooth to drink and appealing to the taste.
I don't know what ore to say except...
I rate it:
90%
Labels: alentejo, J. Portugal Ramos, white
Plansel Selecta
Nce wine.
I bought it at a local delicatessen just because of the way it looked and the price :)
At first when I opened it it was bit too bitter.
Then as it aired n the bottle i started to like it.
It has for sure a lot of central european influences even though the grapes are typically portuguese. But it tastes a lot as the Hungarian, German and Austrian wines ai Have tasted so far.
Maybe it is because the name of the producer is Bohm (sorry no tremma in my keyboard)
I rate it
65%

lancers
It is as we call it Rosé!
Fresh, fruity and little lighter then the others I have tasted.
A lot as been said on rose wine.
Some say it is not wine.
Well it is and with the development of the techinques i think it can e very well a tye of wine that will grow into people.
It is a little like italians and Pizza Hut

Cavicchioli Lambrusco
I found out this "frizante rosso" in my local supermarket (which is actually one of the biggest hypermarkets in the country in front of my place) and decided to start tasting some foreign wines.
I enjoyed it quite much, it resembles the portuguese "verde-tinto", a lots of fruit (real grapes), some alcohol and a refreshing fresh feeling in the "end-of-mouth".
All in all it was a good surprise
