Barão do Hospital Verde Alvarinho 2020
Descripción
Cuando Falua, una reconocida bodega de la zona del Tejo, decidió iniciar su expansión en tierras desconocidas, eligió Vinho Verde para llevarnos a las estrellas con sus vinos Barão do Hospital. Los suelos graníticos en un clima típicamente atlántico, dan lugar a una Alvarinho realmente única. Los intensos aromas cítricos se mezclan con la elegancia de la fruta blanca en una complejidad sublime, conseguida gracias a la crianza del 10% del vino en barricas de roble usadas. Una maravilla que no podrás dejar de beber.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2020 Alvarinho Barão Hospital is mostly unoaked (but for 10% aged for six months in used French oak). It comes in dry and with 13.5% alcohol. This handles the wood beautifully, the fruit mostly ignoring the modest wood treatment. It has a serious feel as a real table wine, good depth and a reasonable expression of fruit. The structure here is not as impressive. It adds nice aromatics on the nose. Between this and its Loureiro sibling this issue, I had a minor preference for the Loureiro, but they both are very well done, filling the mouth, providing flavor and good freshness. This, of course, has far more depth in terms of the mid-palate concentration but not as much personality. Reasonable minds might differ as to which is the better example of its type, but it's worth noting for bargain hunters that the Loureiro is half the price.
Interesante vino portugués, que con oferta, tiene muy buena RCP.
