Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, February 9, 2011 - (12.7%) 98% Yellow Muscat, 2% Loureiro (Loureiro is typical to Vinho Verde in Portugal) – Let’s just get it on the table right away. This wine is (thankfully in my case) not sweet. Nor is it made with your typical Muscat grape. Light, translucent yellow in the glass and… Wow! What a nose! This wine just might be made for sniffing rather than drinking. Floral and perfumed with notes of orange blossom and honey all with a slight underlying oiliness. Reminds of running on a warm spring night when all the flowers are abloom. Crisp with nice acidity on entry with more floral notes appearing on the edges and working themselves towards the center to meet with white peach/nectarine flavors that carry on to the finish which is fading and pleasant. Not a style I want to drink often but certainly one I can appreciate and enjoy. Interesting as an appertif this one will go even better with food.

Wine Geek Notes: Residual Sugar = 6.6G/L
