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 Review:
While I am absolutely in LOVE with this white's label, featuring a screen-printed image of a crab with all of the neon love of the 90s, I am not a huge fan of this tangy Vinho Verde. Not the most appetizing of wines on the nose, I found this white to have a very pungent, acidic scent, with very boisterous grapefruit flavors on the palate. I am not personally a huge fan of the citric acid, harsh, whites, but if you are, this may be a perfect fit for you. Although this is supposedly a "flat" white wine, I did detect a bubbly sensation on the palate, that was a plus. Overall, I found this wine to be fairly single-noted, with a strong citrus "punch-in-the-face" on the palate, and a super dry finish.
