Tastng - Santola Vinho Verde

Name: Santola Vinho Verde
Variety: White Blend, lazy Portuguese
Region: Minho
Country: Portugal
Year: NV
Price: $7.95
Tasting Date: March 1, 2013
Location: Independently tasted
Food Pairing: None

Winery Review:  Soft and creamy, although with just the right Vinho Verde bite, this is a crisp and clean wine, boasting light pear and pink grapefruit flavors. Off dry and very fresh.

  My Thoughts: It has a very light color complimented by nice effervescence. The nose is very mineral, with light hints of flowers and citrus. There is a strong acid feel and taste at the start that fades into an odd buttery lemon flavor. I much prefer the Anjos I had last week, so I am going to give this wine a pass.
