Vino Verde in HD thanks to some skin contact and serious winemaking. Amazing depth of flavor for a wine in the low $20 range.

Feb 7th, 2015Classic Vinho Verde enhanced by a short skin maceration, with a few month aging on lees - this wine is freshly focused on citrus notes and is a great seafood and fish companion 😄

2013 was tough for me but it's showing better than most albarinho in northwest Iberia.

Pale, yellow, clear color with medium-high viscosity; aromatic buttery and high acidity and alcohol, althogh similar to the GW tried this week this wine is more fruity and buttery and lacks the peppery note.

Vinho Verde with a decidedly more savory tone. Not really 'orange', but tactile and textured. Salted limes and chalk.
