Pleasing wine. Wish the finish was longer. Lemon zest, grapefruit, hint of apricot, earth, fresh herbs and flowers.

Another Vinho Verde: crisp and refreshing. does not however, pair well with meats and is much better enjoyed as am apéritif or with cheese.

Aromas of lemon balm and lime zest. I like that there is not a markable amount of effervescence on the palate. The fruit is upfront with loads of citrus peel. Nice value.
