The 2009 BRANCO is a blend of Malvasia Fina, Gouveio and Vital. Round, not particularly intense and likely to age quickly, this easy drinking but very tasty white shows nice flavor as it warms, with a little zing and zest and a rather velvety texture for a white. It is uncomplicated with a modest finish, but very pleasing for early consumption and I liked it more as it warmed. It will show best as young and fresh as possible. Drink now-2011. This winery as yet has no importer in the USA. Its winemaker is Rui Cunha.
