It comes in very dry and at 12.3% alcohol. This has become very consistent, but I was curious to see what would happen in this 2021 vintage. The rainy harvest was less threatening to whites. Textured, silky and understated on first pour, this sensual white sits on the palate and still shows off fine fruit. In fact, it is surprisingly, if subtly, concentrated. It is by no means a fat wine (and the oak is largely irrelevant), but as it airs and warms, it still seems to show off the essence of its fruit on the finish. That said, this is still more about structure than fruit, especially today, when it is a bit monolithic. This seems very fine, with some potential for improvement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222223;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #222223;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #9f250d;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #9f250d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Lemons, flint, rosemary, pineapple and sea shells on the nose.

It produces a range of still red and white wines as well as Port. Wine \u0026amp; Soul was established by winemakers Jorge Serôdio Borges and Sandra Tavares da Silva in 2001 with a single vineyard in the Cima Corga's Pinhão Valley, by the town of the same name. Progressively the pair have expanded their vineyard holdings which now include the Quinta da Manoella property and cover around 45 hectares (111 acres). The grapes are grown organically and hand harvesting standard across the wines. The wines are generally fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in French barriques. The range of wines covers red, white and rosé still wines (most under the banner of Manoella or Pintas), most of which are produced as field blends of red Douro varieties and white Douro varieties (the exception is the Manoella rosé, made predominantly from Touriga Nacional). The Guru and Vinha do Altar whites are also field blends. The port wines cover a range of styles with both red and white ports produced as well as Ruby, 10 year-old Tawny and Reserve bottlings.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42814987239562,"sku":"","price":219.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/14_18c30a4d-7da6-4f3c-8af0-22f349c747f3.png?v=1677769126","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/en-es\/products\/2021-wine-soul-guru-branco","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
