Review from Wine Enthusiast: "One of the most popular Vinho Verdes, this is in a light, medium-sweet style. Very fresh and crisp, with some attractive citrus acidity, and ready to drink now. Screwcap." -85
Wine Folly: Regional blend offered in white, rosé, and red styles. Low-alcohol, fruity white with a touch of spritz is the most popular. Characteristics include lemonade, pink grapefruit, lime zest, yellow apple, and white blossom. Page 184.
Personal Review: Slightly dry, citrusy flavor that is similar to orange. Touch of apple. Really no acidity but very similar profile to the McManis Pinot Grigio. I forgot to take notes when I initially opened the bottle, so the flavors seem slightly suppressed after sitting in the fridge for a week or two. Acidity was especially suppressed.. Was my favorite white wine to buy before starting this class.
I drank this again while watching wine IQ lectures, without food.
