The 2011 BRANCO is the winery’s single vineyard Fernao Pires. It is rather consistently a nice bargain from this winery, a well constructed white with some depth and finesse--and a low end price. In trading up for—the measly extra $1—from the Terra de Lobos reviewed this issue, you get more depth and a much better finish. It may not be the best ager in the wine world or the most complex white, but in this price range it is surprisingly solid, persistent and able to show surprising grip on that finish in its youth. With wines like this, I always doubt that they will stay at their peak all that long, but while at peak, this is certainly a best buy that will not disappoint. Drink now-2014.
