Notes from critics
We continue to be amazed at the quality of white wines from Portugal and here is another that took us by surprise. A brilliant, pale gold in the glass. The nose is aromatic and layered, revealing precise notes of lemon zest, ripe white peach, and a subtle flinty minerality. The palate is medium-bodied, boasting a beautiful creamy texture framed by vibrant, cleansing acidity. Flavors of orchard fruit and a hint of almond lead to a focused, long, and refreshing finish.

The nose of the 2023 Guru is clean, precise, elegant and nuanced, very insinuating and subtle, corresponding to a cooler vintage that delivered one of the finest versions of this white, which ranks among the most elegant in Duoro. It has the serious and minderal mouthfeel from the Douro schist soils, finishing dry and long, with an almost salty twist. It has a moderate 12.5% alcohol, denoting contained ripeness that translates into white flowers and wild herbs and a pH of 3.39, parameters of very good freshness. The oak is neatly integrated.
