Vintage 2014 seville orange little spritz very dry and a hint of bitter at back when first opened up. Less bitter after ten minutes.

Once again this is vinho Verde at its very best. Pear, cantaloupe, chalk. There's that mineral thing on the nose that tells you it's going to be great 😊 the palate is very well made with a great acid backbone, a good width and mouthfeel, some pear and slightly lemony notes, before a long and fresh finish that goes on for a while. Why is everyone overlooking Vinho Verde?

Lychees and lemons with a feeling of fizz (without the fizz). Opened up with time into something more mellow. It was interesting in a good way.

Crisp, fruity—excellent patio wine with fruit or cheese, found at discount store for $8/bottle—now wish I had bought more

Not really a fan dry and a little bit salty, but then finished too perfumy for me

Really nice white wine we found at World Market. Washed down grilled shrimp and salmon.
