| Notes | "The NV Branco Selecao do Enologo Unfiltered is a 50/50 blend of Loureiro and Alvarinho. It comes in at 13% alcohol as listed (12.8% precisely, according to the tech sheet) and just 2 grams per liter of residual sugar. If the balance sometimes seemed just a bit questionable, the tension and persistence on the finish was quite impressive. The acidity laced the grapefruit into the palate. | |||
