Normal vino verde is crisp, slightly spritzy and costs £7 a bottle. This is crisp, very fizzy, and allegedly £28 a bottle if the wine club literature is to be believed, which it isn’t. I struggle to see the point.

Traditional method, 90% Maria Gomes, 10% Sercialinho from sandy soils. Zesty with lemon, lime and orange peel. A little tropical fruit action too - like those not-as-sweet pineapples. Salt and ocean prime with good minerality. Medium + acidity. Super drinkable.

Seems to be better than the last time I had this back in 2010. This actually had some character to it, with lively apple, pear and hints of herbs. The mouse seemed a bit clunky when first pours, but this settled down nicely with a fine bead. Still, not a lot of depth but a lot of bright, delicious flavors. Nice QPR as well for $14.
