90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2006 vintage):
"The 2006 LOUREIRO “ESCOLHA” (ANDREZA) is 100% Loureiro, one of the common grapes in the Vinho Verde region. The “Escolha,” in essence is a special selection. While much of the current excitement in Vinho Verde comes from the 100% Alvarinhos, this bottling, among others, proves that Alvarinho isn't the only single varietal worth seeking out. As is typical of this varietal, it is crisp, aromatic and refreshing, but it also shows a certain toastiness on opening, perhaps because it spent four months on the lees. As it warms up, the toast fades and its grassy component becomes rather more obvious, as well as its ripe and succulent fruit. It shows that it has personality and finesse, as well as lots of flavor. It manages to be at once crisp and fruity, a feat not always easily managed. The fruit is hardly shy or subdued. Although elegant and bright, it never seems thin or simple, and it registers 12% in alcohol. It is a lovely wine, with a lingering, flavorful finish and a surprisingly rich texture despite the crispness. I am betting that this will hold well a couple of years, but I suspect it will always be more interesting when it is freshest. Drink now-2010." - Mark Squires (Aug 2008)

Wine & Spirits Magazine - 92 Points & TOP 100 VALUES OF THE YEAR

Praia, which means beach in Portuguese, is a smooth and fresh wine with delicate and lovely fruity flavors. Slightly spritzy, it is well balanced and very refreshing.

The wine is ideal as an aperitif or throughout a meal, especially with fish, seafood, white meat and salads.  Due to it freshness, it is particularly pleasant in a relaxed and informal ambiance.
