Esporão Reserva Blanco 2015

"The 2014 Reserva Branco is a blend of 30% Antão Vaz, 30% Arinto, 30% Roupeiro, 8% Semillon and a smattering of others. It comes in at 14% alcohol and was aged for six months in stainless steel (65%) and oak (35%, with 30% new French and 70% new American). With the oak seeming much better controlled than in some past years, this has good acidity that easily slices through the oak. Very elegant, but showing some grip and persistence on the finish, this is a friendly wine that is a bit better than it might first seem to be. Well balanced, it touches all the bases and adds just a bit of distinction for a modest price level".
