The 2019 Loureiro, tasted with about 10 weeks in bottle, is the winery's classic version—meaning "unoaked." It comes in at 11.3% alcohol, less than 1.5 grams of sugar and 7.4 of total acidity, a big change from last year's more alcoholic and lower-acid profile. This, to me, is a nicer profile for this wine in theory, but I'm not yet sure it will realize its potential. It retains its traditional lift to the fruit and a bright, lively demeanor. It might not be as concentrated as the 2018, but it has a wonderfully zesty finish with the acidity on display. MARK SQUIRES, eRobertParker.com.au
