Critic scores

No critic score is published for this bottle that we can cite with a reviewer, a vintage and a review year, so none is shown. The rating in the header is our own.

What it pairs with

  • Grilled prawns
    A varietal Alfrocheiro rosé at 12.9 percent is light enough for sweet shellfish.
  • Summer salad with feta
    Three months on fine lees give just enough texture for a dressed salad.
  • Cold roast chicken
    The estate makes only 1,400 bottles, which suits a picnic bottle rather than a cellar one.
