Quite a different label... Good wine, was sold to me as a vinho verde, but nowhere on the label you can read vinho verde, only colheita selectionada and vinho regional minho. Good stuff, mineral, nice body, citrus fruits, balanced.

On the nose there's pear, lime & a chalky minerality ~ The palate is light & crisply refreshing with subtle fruit notes of lemon & melon with green apple & mineral notes ~ Light & refreshing, great value

Same as the last Aveleda we had, I'm sorry but any white wine that has a 'spritz' when it's not meant to is flawed, all said it had some mildly redeeming qualities in that it tasted okay with the Mandarin Oranges we had accidentally afterwards, still struggling as to why Portugal can make such great reds and the whites (to my current experience) simply suck - White straw, light bodied with a nose of apple, pear and stone, extreme acidity and sparkling wine-like fizz, tart on the palate with an imperceptible finish, run don't walk complete and utter shite (71 Points).

Wonderful. Doesn't show the green, sauv blanc, tart character some VV shows, as this is perfevtly ripe, with melons and citrus. Good acids, moderate length and just the right amount of fizz to keep this lively. Clean, crisp amd ridiculously good with fish... and great QPR at $7.

It's 97F out and I'm hot and tired. Pale flax and cold in my condensation-coated glass; simple and straightforward with lemonade and chalky mineral notes. Cheap and refreshing.

- Light gold color and aromas of orange blossom, grapefruit, pineapple and melon. It's balanced and has flavours of grapefruit, apricot, peach and pineapple with a light/medium body. Bright texture with a medium finish.

Very light, crisp and refreshing, with a slight effervescence. Had with cheese and crackers but would be good with a salad. Would buy again.

Bon petit vin blanc de terrasse, de par sa légèreté, son coté désaltérant et vif. Il contient un reste de sucre résiduel non négligeable.

85/100
