Winery Review - "Refreshingly crisp white wine from Portugal--Vinho Verde is soft, light and refreshing, and is an uncompromising and ideal wine for everyday pleasure. Its bright color and pineapple aromas are followed by citrus notes. The palate is clean and fresh. Vinho Verde is an excellent accompaniment to fish and shell fish, white meats and salads."

My Review - This white wine is exciting on the nose with hints of tropical fruit, citrus, and lemon zest. On the tongue, it is light, fruity with some citrus, and effervescent with bubbly notes. This refreshing wine excites my palate and would be perfect on a hot summer day.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
