Jancis Robinson MW: "50% Encruzado, 50% Bical matured in a mix of cement, stainless steel and oak (10%) and bottled after a year on the lees. Very intense nose with extract of herbal aromas on the nose. Really smooth, floral and beautiful. Lots still to give. Drink now-2029." 16.5+ points

The Wine Advocate: "The 2021 Pretexto Branco was livelier and had more freshness, lower alcohol and a more vibrant palate. It didn't go through malolactic fermentation." 91 points
