Review

This is a thoroughly traditional Vino Verde.  The label derives from the embroidery of the region, the grapes are a classic blend of Trajadura, Loureiro, Arinto and Azal and it even comes with a cork!  The wine itself is also thoroughly conservative.  It’s spritz is minimal, perhaps echoing back to the pre-CO2 enhanced days (although myself I prefer it pumped-up a little more).  And the flavour is simplicity itself – a slightly underlying fruitiness balanced with a mineral finish, both of which is under-stated.

Overall, this is  a goldilocks Vinho Verde.  Clear, fresh and simple with nothing over-stated and maybe one for the purists.  But perhaps not entirely exciting either.

Makers Notes

Presents a lime juice colour and a clear appearance. This is a smooth and fresh wine with a delicate and fruity aroma, young and balanced.
