This is a serious sparkling wine, with richness as well as properly tense structure. It has weight, some bottle age with yeast and toast as important as citric fruit flavors. The initials stand for the names of the two winemakers.

Caves Transmontanas 2009 Vértice Grande Reserva Branco White (Douro)
- $20
With layers of wood aging, this is a wine that is ripe and bold. Its yellow fruit and spice character is right up front, while the acidity and lemon flavors have fine supporting roles. It needs another year for the wood element to settle down.

Made from the Gouveio grapes, one of the Douro white grapes, this has weight and some richness. The acidity is a balancing but not a domiNAt factor. Ripe apples and a citrus edge go with a feel of some bottle age.

Lightly strawberry colored and flavored, this is a wine with a hint of tannin as well as bright, fresh fruit. While it could age for another year in bottle, it is a food-friendly sparkler that should pair well with rich seafood.
