VINOS PINOL 2008 PORTAL BLANC D.O. Terra Alta
WINE ADVOCATE 90 POINTS - "The 2008 Portal White is composed of 70% Garnacha Blanco, 20% Sauvignon Blanc, and the balance Macabeu and Viognier fermented and aged in stainless steel. It delivers a complex nose of mineral, dried herbs, fresh apples, and gooseberry. This is followed by a vibrant, intense, spicy wine with superb balance and length. It defines the meaning of over-delivering."
This versatile white blend is quite a treat to taste and drink and will go with a myriad of foods. Not sure what to pair with artichokes, grilled veggies or salads with vinaigrette? This is your wine! The nose is a bounty of mixed stone fruits enwrapped by a wonderful fruit cocktail mélange; the palate is a balanced triptych of crisp acidity, lush texture and evocative flavors (herbals, florals, fresh apples). This is an easy-drinking, fun, affordable wine that will lead spring into summer with nary an eyelash flutter, perfect for poolside, parties or solo, with or without food. Last year's vintage was a huge hit with our customers and we think this year's version is even better.
