Tasting - Santola Vinho Verde



Name: Santola Vinho Verde
Variety: White Blend
Region: Minho
Country: Portugal
Year: N.V.
Price: $7.95

Shop 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: Great wine.  Very nice, light, and citrusy.  I was unable to detect any pear flavors, only the citrus tones.  The crab on the label makes me think it would be great to enjoy with seafood because of the lemon and grapefruit undertones.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
