Name: Encostas do Lima Vinho Verde
Variety: 80% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura
Region: Minho
Country: Portugal
Year: 2010
Price: $4.95
Tasting Date: January 24, 2013
Location:  Vintage Cellar

Winery Review: Pale golden silver color. Bright floral aromas of peaches, raspberry and honeysuckle with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a crisp, tart citrus and talc accented finish. A delightful sipper that is sure to please.

My Thoughts: Tasty. Feels light and citrusy, not quite sweet but easy to drink. Has a light flavor, almost like lemonade, with a mix of fruits I can't quite make out.Very gentle on the mouth. Definitely something I will drink again.
