| Notes | "The 2018 VZ (Van Zellers) white is a blend featuring Rabigato and old vines aged for nine months in an equal mixture of new and used French oak. It comes in at 12% alcohol. This was set for bottling in a couple of weeks (final blend, out of barrel) when seen. Showing some substance, perhaps more than the Martim, this is reasonably concentrated for the level. It finishes well, too, showing fruit and persistence." (Wine Advocate) | |||
