Winery Review: It's rare to find a Vinho Verde – the famously light and refreshing "green" white wine of Portugal – that isn't delightful, but this is one of the best of the breed. And there's no better time to quaff these wines than in the spring and summer. This version is lightly effervescent, with a lively acidity that wakes up the palate. It combines lime and peach flavors with a whiff of sea breeze. Somehow it manages to be both ethereal and penetrating.
My Review: This wine had avery fruity and refreshing taste to it. I liked how it tasted very peachy and apple like but the taste was not over the top or too fruity to handle.The perfect balance of fruity and acidity made the wine delicious. I would love to have this wine with gourmet cheese platter.
