  Produced from 60-year-old vines, this wine has a great balance between crisp acidity and ripe yellow and white stone fruit flavors. It is rich with a touch of toast and spice from wood fermentation and aging. The wine is still young and will be better from 2018.

• 201489 pts

  A partially (50%) wood-fermented wine that shows a softer side to Fernão Pires, suppressing its natural exuberant freshness while adding complexity, spice and toast. The wine is worth aging a few months, so drink from early 2017.

  From old vines planted on the sandy soils of Tejo, this is a fresh, while also concentrated wine. It has a sense of structure, with a nutmeg character along with the fresh yellow fruits. Touches of the wood-aging give an extra richness. Drink from 2016.

• 201290 pts

  A full-bodied wine, it shows strong vanilla flavor from oak aging and a rich, tropical feel. Lime and other citrus fruits give a crisp edge to this rounded wine that has concentration and final fruitiness. Drink from 2015.

  The fresh acidity typical of Fernão Pires is broadened by wood aging to yield a wine that has peach, apricot and green-fruit flavors, enhanced by floral aromas. There is a final, mineral texture.

  An impressive wine that is packed with notes of rich fruit, toast and vanilla. It has weight to its apple, peach and intense spice flavors. The style is like a ripe Chardonnay, just with extra acidity. Ready to drink, but could age for another year.

  A wood-aged, rich wine that shows big, ripe fruits and a good spice and toast element from the wood, balanced by white nectarines and currants. It is full, rounded and creamy.
