92 Mark Squires - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2015 Pó de Poeira Branco is an Alvarinho (in years gone by, there was some Gouveio). Early picked to be more aromatic, winemaker Jorge Moreira said, this is fresh and perky with lots of acidity rather than big and fat. Penetrating on the finish and a touch green, this surprisingly had eight months in wood (used, though). It doesn't taste like it. Overall, this is a beauty that should age rather well. It is about as good as Alvarinho gets outside of the Monção e Melgaço sub-region of Vinho Verde. It is a fine value, too, assuming you like exuberant, fresh whites.
