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.——R.V.(4/1/2008)—— 88

This white version of Casal Branco’s Falcoaria brand is a blend of Fernao Pires and Trincadeira das Pratas. Partly fermented in oak, it has a fine, creamy, almost Chardonnay-like richness, tempered with crisp, appley acidity. The combination is immensely drinkable. ——R.V.(11/1/2004)—— 88
