Wine Advocate, 93 Points 

"The characterful white 2019 Escalada do Sil Blanco reveals notes of pollen, beeswax, yeasts and yellow fruit and some spiciness. It's medium-bodied with 13.5% alcohol and a round and dry palate. It's a serious white Valdeorras going beyond the variety." 

James Suckling, 92 Points 

"Creamy, but also zesty, with green fruit and minerals. There is an exotic, spicy edge, too. Pure and medium-bodied with lifted acidity and a long, subtle finish. Some fresh pralines in the end. Drink now." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Pale gold. On the nose, ripe orchard fruit is interwoven with smoky mineral and dried herbs, with a touch of spicebox. On the palate, intense concentration of the orchard and stone fruit flavors, with remarkable acidity and a touch of classic phenolic bitterness. Finishes clean and long." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
