The Winery: Quinta Do Feital
The Wine: 2007 Auratus
The Price: $15.00 at Jack Cellars
Quinta Do Feital is a Portuguese winery. At the time of this writing, their website is not working quite right, so I really don't have much information on the Winery. Jack (from Jack Cellars) tells me that Auratus is Latin for golden, which is appropriate because the wine is very gold in color.
The wine has aromas of pineapple and honey, much like the other Portuguese wine I recently reviewed, the Gazela Vinho Verde. Unlike the Gazela, however, this wine is actually good. Also unlike the Gazela, this wine is not sparkling. This is a good wine. It has a creamy pineapple flavor. This would be a great wine to sip on the porch on a hot summer day.
