Carlos Raposo Dão Impecável Tinto 2021, 13 percent, $18.99
Impecával, which means impeccable, is an apt description for this fresh, pure, floral, herbal red made of biodynamically grown touriga nacional from the Dão region of Portugal. Carlos Raposo, the winemaker, served an apprenticeship making wine with Dirk Niepoort, the groundbreaking Portuguese producer, before establishing his own label.

Domaine de Majas Côtes Catalanes Blanc 2021, 11.5 percent, $18.99
Alain and Agnes Carrère, of Domaine de Majas in the Côtes Catalanes area of Roussillon, were conventional winemakers who came under the influence of Tom Lubbe, a natural vigneron in the region. They converted to organic viticulture, and began to make wine with fewer manipulations. This white, made of macabeu, also known as viura; rolle, also known as vermentino; and carignan blanc, is herbal, floral, textured and savory. (Louis/Dressner Selections)
Aphros Vinho Verde Loureiro 2021, 11 percent, $19.96
The Aphros wines from Portugal are almost always both good and interesting, and this white, made of biodynamically farmed loureiro, is no exception. It’s fresh and bone-dry, with tart fruit flavors and a succulent texture. It’s a great wine for shrimp and other shellfish. (Skurnik Wines, New York)
