Review (from Roger Voss of Wine Enthusiast Magazine): "85/100. This wine is all bright, clean fruit and acidity. It's just off dry, with a slight spritz and a lively texture. Drink now."
My Review: We had this wine at room temperature, and we did not have it with any food. This is my first time having a vinho verde wine, so I was not sure what to expect. When I smelled the wine, I smelled mostly peaches, lemons, and oranges. When I tasted the wine, I tasted a pleasant tart citrus flavor that made the wine pretty sour, and I also tasted hints of pineapple and other tropical fruit. This wine was more dry than it was sweet, and I thought it was pretty acidic. The very light body of this wine make it one of the most crisp and refreshing wines I've had in a while. I could see this being a very enjoyable wine in the hot summertime and hope to get vinho verde in the future.
