2010 年份的 Vinha da Defesa Branco 由 Arinto、Antao Vaz 和 Roupeiro 葡萄（來自 15 年樹齡的葡萄藤）混釀而成，并在酒罐中發(fā)酵。該酒清新怡人，美味純凈，是一款明快活潑的酒品，與其價格相比，味道集中，深度適宜。該酒通常物美價廉，今年的情況與往年一樣，當(dāng)溫度升高時，這款酒會變得多汁美味。趁酒年輕時享用，能產(chǎn)生一種清新之感。適飲期：現(xiàn)在至 2014年。

The 2007 VINHA DA DEFESA BRANCO is in this brand name’s tradition, a crisp wine that is usually available (21,000 cases produced, 500 imported) and provides value for the money, although exchange rate fluctuations have had some impact. It is basically the same wine as the Reserva, a blend of Arinto, Roupeiro and Antao Vaz, a familiar trio of white grapes in Alentejo, but whereas the Reserva has an oaky overlay, this is bright and pure, aged in stainless steel, and intended to be a bit on the grassy side. It seems less herbaceous this year than in prior recent vintages, but it is pungent, with a juicy, mouthwatering finish. My experience is that this becomes rounder and softer in six to twelve months, but you may like the exuberance of the wine young better. Drink now-2010.

Ripe and tropical, this is a full wine that captures the warmth of the Alentejo. The acidity offers some freshness along with the citrus edge, but the fruits are much more tropical, rich in mango and lychee spice.——R.V.(11/1/2008)—— 85

Creamy and full-bodied wine layered with lime and other citrus flavors that highlight acidity although the aftertaste is sweet.——R.V.(12/15/2007)—— 84
