L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The 2017 Avesso Edição Nacional "Covela" is very dry, with 1.4 grams of sugar and nearly 6.5 grams of total acidity. It comes in at 12.6% alcohol. Covela, due to demand, is now also purchasing some Avesso grapes. On paper, this has very good acidity. That follows through to perception too, finishing with a touch of tartness. The acidity is still pretty well integrated, not searing. Elegant, precise and nicely structured, it also has pretty good concentration. I'm not positive this is as good as last year's, but it sure looks like it just now. A couple of years in the cellar for both will answer the question more conclusively. There were 36,000 bottles produced.
