A bit leaner and spritzer than Rias Baixas brethren, a touch of phenolic bitterness, but all in all quite quaffable.

Crisp, bright, & refreshing. A touch of disolved CO2. Nice low alcohol 12.5%.

Good mouth feel. Good balance between mineral and floral. Low intensity but good balance on both.

Fine but bland. Acidic with a hint of yeast and too little citrus peel for my tastes.

It's so refreshing that it's almost like a thirst quencher in a hot summer day!

In the glass it's unmistakably vinho verde with the fuzzy tiny bubbles. Nose is typical of Alvarinho with green apply, pineapple, lemon zest, and slight citrus favor. What sets this apart is the somewhat Viognier-like oily palate. A bit salty and stony. Very nice!

Super refreshing and clean all the way. Crunchy fruit and citrus. Excellent food wine.
