Wine & Soul 'Manoella' Branco 2023 SLO Down Wines dusty tannins and savory notesI was able to taste the just bottled 2023 Manoella Branco. This was a very balanced vintage, the growing season was almost perfect, and yields were good. The wine was a little closed for such an expressive year of wines with purity and freshness. It has notes of white flowers and fruit and a balsamic touch with the balance and harmony from the old vines. Robert Parker
