  Pale yellow with slight green at the edges, this wine (100% Loureiro) reveals apricot, guava, saline and lime zest on the nose. The mouth feel is dry and lighter bodied with more tropical fruit and saline undertones. The finish brought out the high acidity. 12% abv.
  
  Purchased for $10US, this wine is a well made wine that shows the quality and excellent pricing of the more sophisticated, non-effervescent style Vinho Verdes on the market now.
  
  Imported by Grape2Glass, Newark, NJ.

  Another look at this wine.
  
  Light yellow in the glass, with crisp sea breeze scents on the nose reminiscent of Muscadet.
  
  Tart white fruits on the palate, good persistence and acidity - this is nice as an aperitif.

  Light yellow in the glass, with a briny scent that is somewhat reminiscent of Muscadet.
  
  Light-bodied and crisp, with decent persistence. No complexity to speak of, but a wine that is fairly easy drinking, and hard to argue about what's in the glass given the price.
