Yellow apple, tangerine, Mayer lemon, ripe fruit, with med plus acidity, gravel minerality, slightly yeasty, a bit white pepper. A pleasant white for its price.

Often referred to as the "Green Wine" of the region with a big concentrated fruit character with notes of pepper spice. Lively acidity gives this wine a boost turning the fruit into a complex dry wine character, well balanced on a lingering finish. The end of the bottle had kicked up a notch signaling this wine could benefit from a little aging. Great value.

One of the most interesting white wines I've had in a long time. It has a slight white pepper thing almost reminiscent of Gruner, with generous amounts of apricot, citrus, and quenching acidity. It's Vino Verde picked late l, and it's stupid good!

Amazing #wine does not have to be expensive. Case in point this juicy, fresh Alvarinho from the Portuguese white wine value haven of top quality Vinho Verde.

This is literally like biting into a fresh and juicy ripe peach. On a rainy and cool fall night this is a burst of sunshine!

Certainly the best VV to date. Great weight and roundness with defined fruit and mineral notes. Curious about lees contact since it seemed to have expressions on the nose and palate.

White nectarines. A touch of residual sugar.
