First, it&#8217;s really nice: a precise, subtly aromatic, fresh white wine with some personality. Second, it&#8217;s Portuguese, and I have a soft spot for Portugal. Third, it&#8217;s priced within my range, and I can afford to enjoy it without having blown a significant slice of my disposable income. Fourth, it&#8217;s versatile and will work in a number of dining situations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Valle Pradinhos Branco 2011 VR Transmontano, Portugal<\/strong><br \/>\n13.5% alcohol. An unusual blend\u00a0of Gewurztraminer, Riesling and Malvasia Fina from the Tras-os-Montes region in northern Portugal. Odd though the\u00a0blend may be,\u00a0it works: this is fine, fresh, aromatic and floral, but quite discrete\u00a0and not too showy. Very fresh in the mouth with some citrus\u00a0notes and lovely pure fruit focus. A lovely\u00a0fruit-driven white with real freshness. 89\/100 (\u00a310.95 The Wine Society)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This wine hits my sweet spot for a number of reasons.
