Bought one last week for 7.50 on closeout from a local retailer. Very pale green, ephemeral fragrance, light green melon body with bit of effervescence, simple--correct style. This would be the right wine in some limited circumstances. Stored vertically (screwcap) in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this drinkable+ when considering quality, age, and price.

A student presented this in my wine class. Grapefruit and salt nose. Slight effervescence Salt continues into long finish. Matches exactly what looking for in a Vinho Verde.

Not your average VV. Pleasantly surprised by the liveliness and staying power of this expensive vinho Verde, which means it was worth the price. Great acidity , frizzante, but steely clean and dry..it survived 3 days in the bottle as an aperitif, recommend

Wonderful VV. Fresh, spritzy, and acidic, with some nice mineral notes.

Very similar to the 2015, but with even more fizz and citrus. High acid and long, crisp finish. One of the best values for a summer wine out there.
