Branco o Ancestral 2020

Suggested Retail Price: $26

It seems, in fact, a bit more distinguished these days, no longer merely a value wine that flirts with 90 points, but one that I might expect to hit that level pretty regularly. This is lovely, dense, nuanced and vigorous. It has a very serious feel, big fruit and a lingering finish.

Fitapreta Tinto 2021

Suggested Retail Price: $25

It seems impeccably well balanced, shows fine depth, beautiful fruit and still has hints of finesse. The tannins are ripe, making this easy to enjoy now, but that doesn't mean this is at peak. For the regular Tinto in this sometimes pricey lineup, this is a steal and a fine value point. It's a great choice for a house pour.

A Laranja Mecânica 2020

Suggested Retail Price: $29

The name of the wine means clockwork orange, the producer's interpretation of an orange wine, rather than a movie. With a golden color and a texture that derives from long maceration of the grape skins, the wine is about structure as well as perfumed white and yellow fruits. Drink from later this year.

A Laranja Mecânica 2020

Suggested Retail Price: $31

A rather gentle and understated orange wine, this is beautifully balanced this year. Then, it adds dried peaches and apricots on the finish. It's still a bit different and not for everyone, not exactly your typical white, but it doesn't go overboard in power or eccentricity.

Tinto de Castelão 2020

Suggested Retail Price: $40

A wonderfully fresh version of this grape, this is silky and lively. It adds what you would expect from this grape: flavor and aromatics. The raspberries and strawberries lace the finish. There is only average depth and some structure, but this is about hedonism and fruit. It develops beautifully in the glass and evolves steadily.

A Touriga Vai Nua 2019

Suggested Retail Price: $28

It's not as seriously structured, but it is fragrant, tasty, pure and delicious. It has enough structure to seem serious, and it is very fresh, the fruit lifted on the palate. The mid-palate is well on the elegant side—nothing jammy here. It's a bit lean and rather nervy. It finishes with some blueberries but always in a dry fashion, never very fruity. This might be a great summer red, and you can drink it a few degrees cooler than normal.

This is made from vijiriega blanca, a nearly extinct variety local to Jerez. This wine’s tart white-cherry flavors feel meaty, while the tannins feel dusty and sharp. There’s a cedar-box scent along with pale florals that would work with poached cod. - Joshua Greene

Branco Vulcânico 2019

Suggested Retail Price: $35

Bright and a little mouth puckering, this is another nice performance—and for a bit less money. It is just beautiful, and it holds its own pretty well with the regular Arinto, which seems fairly similar in style. Elegant, fresh and lively, it dances across the tongue with a light touch in terms of weight, but it enlivens the palate with its acidity.

Arinto dos Açores 2019

Suggested Retail Price: $45

This wine makes its case on freshness and acidity, perhaps even more so than normal. It is an impressive performance. The structure suggests it can age and improve, and it really must to justify my enthusiasm. It won't be the perfect choice for those who like sweet and fruity, but it is firing on all cylinders otherwise. Those who like freshness will love it. It will be a particularly good choice in warm weather.

Goliardo A Telleira Albariño 2022

Suggested Retail Price: $72

The 2022 Goliardo A Telleira shows lots of finesse. They changed the élevage here to 1,500-litre foudre, which they think works better for Albariño than barrels, no matter how big they are, and this wine clearly shows it. It has the finesse of the sandy soils and a polished texture (a little more sleek, a bit à la Chenin) but still lively and with pungent flavors.

Suggested Retail Price: $475

This is the richest wine I've seen from the Azores, even with that 12.1%. It's almost unctuous in texture. It's beautifully wrought, with the only remaining question being how it will develop. It should hold some 15 years, maybe more. It will be fascinating to see what happens to this multifaceted and surprisingly lush Arinto dos Açores. The price point, to be sure, is another matter.

The 2020 Finca Genoveva Caíño is very different from the rest of the Caíño reds; in this case, it's closer to a Cabernet Franc, with explosive peppery aromas and a balsamic twist (even bay leaf, moss...), very complex and ever-changing in the glass. This is elegant, perfumed, aromatic and precise. This has to be the finest Genoveva Caíño to date. Bravo!
