Wine Advocate, 90 Points
"The 2020 Loureiro Barão Hospital in fact also has 20% Alvarinho blended in, all unoaked and coming with 4.2 grams of residual sugar, 6.9 of total acidity and 12.2% alcohol. A solid Loureiro blend, this is reasonably crisp but deep and lingering on the finish. Just a bit tense, it is also filled with flavor and sure tastes great without sacrificing too much in structure, although power is not its strongest suit. This is a nice success. It is likely that it will age reasonably well, noting that I have no track record with this. I'll be a bit conservative in drinking windows but lean up on the score for the moment. It does have something to prove. In the meanwhile, it certainly seems like a lovely bargain."
Winemaker Notes:
"High aromatic intensity with a variety of floral notes, aromas of citrus fruits such as lemon and lime. Long and intense aftertaste, with a marked freshness and minerality."
Alcohol: 12.5%
