This wine and its bigger brother (notes to come) are possibly the most interesting white wines I've had this year.  Very textural and complex.  If you like Hunter Semillion, I think you will like these wines.  This is the entry level wine, a blend of Bical, Cerceal and Secialinho that sees a bit of time in french oak.  Don't chill this too much, is seems a bit woody and ripe pineappley if it is too cold.  Try around 15 degrees.

The wine is a pale straw colour in the glass with a nose of roasted fennel bulb, smoke, ginger and spice, candle wax and light oak.  The texture in the mouth is the main attraction here, waxy with some nutty flavours as well as minerals, lemons and a nice buttered toast character.  The finish is very long long and the wine shows great balance.  A very classy drink. 89 Pts.
