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.

Green apple, fresh peaches, lemon, lime, overripe pineapple, underripe mango, saline and touch of minerality on the finish.

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.

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, smooth and well balanced on a lingering finish. Wine developed deeper character, very nice! Great value. A Fav!
