 Tasted by sully13 on 10/20/2010 & rated 84 points: Easy to drink. Refreshing white. Non-acidic finish. (3137 views)
 Tasted by Zweder on 7/24/2010 & rated 78 points: PWS 2010-02: Dinner; a mixed set of whites and reds. (@ DE): Very light. Not much to smell or taste. The is just a little pleasant citrus acidity. No complexity at all, but certainly refreshing on a hot Portuguese day and definitely nothing wrong with it. For 3.5$ per bottle……. good qpr! (3104 views)
 Tasted by jikvig on 1/6/2010 & rated 85 points: Smell;
A fruity smell with some citrus, sweetpeas and even, can I say it? shit.... I´ll say no more....

Taste;
Some nice gras flowers with some sandstones (means stones lying on the beach, I guess)

Conclusion;
This was a new experience for me, being my first ever Vinho Verde. An o-key wine, with a nice price. (3338 views)
 Tasted by MindMuse on 5/11/2008 & rated 85 points: This is a favorite of my wife. A very refreshing, lightly sparkling vinho verde. Great, easy drinking apertif, summer wine. Low price and low alcohol pleasant fare. (3967 views)
 Tasted by mudd233 on 4/4/2008 & rated 83 points: THis is a lovely Vinho Verde - very light, a slight effervescence, fresh and young. Many VV seem to lose their lightness when exported but this reminds me of the stuff we drank in Portugal. Perfect for a hot afternoon by the pool. Not really recommended with food - just drink and enjoy. (3641 views)
