Is Branco a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Tasted at Covela's historic estate—a Renaissance manor that sits frozen in time, poised at the mouth of the Douro Valley, along a southern-facing amphitheater robed in lush greenery.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Bright, straw.Expressive. Floral with heady notes of tropical fruit and good intensity. Dry, with nicely-balanced acidity and minerality. Despite its freshness, this wine has notes of ripe stone fruits and displays a certain creaminess that plays well against the mineral backdrop. Long, elegant finish.
