"The 2023 Encostas Do Lima Xisto Vinho Verde comes all from schist soils and is based on 100% Loureiro,and it too was brought up all in tank. It has a touch more stone fruit, ripe lemon, and crushed stone notes in a more medium-bodied, round, supple style that's absolutely delicious. It's perfect for near term drinking."
