more volume than ALLO ~ more stone & pit fruit with less citrus ~ probably better w food while ALLO delivers more aperitif enjoyment

Superb crisp Vinho Verde. Nice acidity, and complex layers of fruit and stone. In Lisbon’s Barrio Alto. Happy Friday!

Often referred to as the "Green Wine" of the Vinho Verde region with a concentrated fruit character with notes of pepper spice. Lively acidity gives this wine a zesty boost turning the fruit into a complex dry wine with character, apple and citrus, well balanced on a lingering finish. This wine could benefit from a little aging. Great value. A Fav!

#sommcon Vibrant and flowing - melon rind, honeysuckle, salt, pollen, juicy pear. Rather round for Vinho Verde in a great way.

A re visit after drinking it in its native land this summer, in summer heat. Has detail & body, & I think should quell the Alvarino nay sayers, if there are any left.
