Vintage Assessments Tasting Note Producer MARIA PAPOILA
This repeat from November 16, 2024 has a pale straw colour and a bright, very slightly spicy, tropical-tinged, floral nose with some slight mineral notes. Dry, medium-light bodied, slightly spicy, minerally, crisp, apple-lemon flavours with a lingering, clean, fresh finish. With just 11.5% alcohol and under 4 g/L residual sugar this Vinho Verde blend is a versatile tasty summertime refresher. CSPC 408146

TASTING NOTE: This combines the two most important white varieties of Vinho Verde in a classy, lighter weight, very well balanced almost delicate yet fresh white. No barrels here. It is all about generous almost exotic, tropical and floral aromas - banana, greengage plum/olive, waxy lily florality. It is very well balanced, dry and even with a slightly pithy finish. Very good to excellent length. Tasted Nov. 2024. Score - 90 (David Lawrason, winealign.com) Price $ 17.95
Bottle Size 750 mL
