Expert Reviews
The showy white 2024 Guru has a perfumed nose with notes of spices, smoke and toast; it's balsamic and faintly medicinal/minty, with complex aromas that open to reveal complexity as it sits in the glass, citrus, herbal and floral, clean and intense. It has been produced since 2004 with old vines from the village of Porrais in a zone of transition from schist to granite, 18 micro plots of very old vines planted with a field blend of multiple varieties, mostly Viosinho, Rabigato, Códega do Larinho and Gouveio. It fermented in 225- and 500-liter French oak barrels, only 5% of them new, for eight weeks at low temperature, and it matured in barrels with bâtonnage for nine months. It's still young and undeveloped, a little marked by the wood, but it has a good track record for absorbing the wine and gaining in complexity. The wine reached 12.5% alcohol and kept a pH of 3.31 and 5.5 grams of acidity.
