I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted from Gandona this year. A move towards gentler extractions in the cellar has resulted in a level of purity that wasn't always present in the estate's early wines. It is going to be very interesting to see where owners Manuel and Cristina Pires take Gandona in the coming years. These wines seem to represent an inflection point towards a more refined style.
