Oscar’s White

The 2021 Oscar’s Branco is a screw-capped blend of Gouveio (37%), Viosinho (33%) and others, all unoaked and coming in at 12.85% alcohol. (Kudos to the winery for being transparent about the blend right on the label.) Fruity and fresh, this is a clean and pure white that should go well in warm weather and on its own. There’s not a lot of energy, but it has a sunny demeanor and tastes great. Drink it on the younger side for best results. It’s worth leaning up for the moment.

Light, with citrus and green-apple flavors, this wine is fresh and packed with fruit. It could do with further aging to restrain the fruitiness and tangy texture. Drink the wine from 2023.
