Quinta da Lixa
Aromas Das Castas Grande Escolha Alvarinho Loureiro
Vinho Verde, Minho, Portugal
This yellow-good wine smells like a fruit basket. Lemon, lime, peach, nectarine - a cornucopia. There is also a beautiful floral note which is almost washed away in the tidal wave of fruit. The palate shows plenty of lemon and lime, with a brisk acidity and finish that stays in the mouth a long time. The stone fruit aspect brings a slight sweetness to the wine to differentiate it from, say, a Sauvignon Blanc. Great summer sipper? Sure it is. But a wine like this will serve well at holiday parties as an aperitif and alongside turkey and ham.
