Quintas das Touquinheiras
Nostalgia Vinho Verde Albariño
Vinho Verde, Minho, Portugal
I like the gentle tannins on the palate added by fermenting this still youthful version on the skins. Loads of non-commercial, slightly bitter notes add complexity and food friendliness. And it will age nicely too.

Dec 12th, 20242016 opened March 2024. Grapefruit and apricots on the nose. Lemon on the front with a crisp tannic backbone. It becomes intensely astringent on the mid palate and it has a long bitter finish. At first I didn’t care for this wine, but halfway through the first glass i loved it. This would be a refreshing summer wine — chilled of course!
