Winery Review:
Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value.

My Review:
Similar to the Vinho Verde, this is a kick-in-the-pants citrus monster that even the queen of tropicana would pucker at. With all anti-citrus preconceptions aside, this white features a strong acidic nose, with crisp green apple notes on the palate. I would say that this white was slightly more toned down than the Vinho Verde, but lives up to its "dry and brisk" description. Not the worse, but definitely not the best. I suppose that these bright whites may pair well with a seafood dinner or may be clean and refreshing during the summer months. Unfortunately, I just didn't feel it for these two whites.
