The 2012 Branco Marques de Borba is a blend of Arinto, Viognier, Antao Vaz and Verdelho, tank fermented and aged, coming in at 12.5% alcohol. Elegant and quite nicely constructed, this attractive white adds a layer of depth to the Loios reviewed this issue – and a little more seriousness. Overall, it does not show a lot of depth, but it has notable persistence on the finish and in its own right, and while it is not as exuberantly fruity as the Loios, it is quite delicious, with tinges of grapefruit and lemon. It has refreshing crispness and reasonable intensity. It is completely charming and lively, although it may not last all that long at peak. Chill it down to the low 50s and it should be wonderful this summer. Drink now-2015. Importers: for Loios, Lima, Vila Santa and Quinta da Vicosa brands: Winebow, Inc., Montvale, NJ; tel.
