Quinta de Calcada, LB7, Vinho Verde

I’m in a dilemma here.  I really didn’t enjoy this wine – I found it too acidic, slightly metallic and with little finish.  But I thought it only fair to tell you that Peter Richards writing on Decanter.com disagrees; he wrote “The vinous version of a spritzer, this fun, fresh and easy-going white has a gentle sparkle, baked pear and apple flavours, and a touch of residual sugar to balance everything out. Easy-drinking, summery, good value, uplifting and fun.”

But I won’t be trying it again, at-least for a while.
