Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Good everyday wine, the Bergamota Private Selection 2017, from the Dao region in Portugal, offers aromas of black plum, blueberry, lilac, granite, spice and vanilla. Made from 80% Touriga Nacional and 20% other Portuguese varietal grapes, the wine shows a light body, fresh acidity, supple tannins and a fruity finish. Palate: sour plum, blueberry, mint, graphite, spice and bread. Enjoy.
From Gota Wines, Bergamota 2017 is a rich red blend of 80% Touriga Nacional, 5% Tinta Roriz, 5% Jaen, 5% Alfrocheiro and 5% local grapes. Love the dark chocolate aromas and ripe cherry, berry, tobacco leaf and nutty flavours on this fleshy, easy to enjoy red from the Dão wine region. Enjoy with grilled meats. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
