 Tasted by srh on 6/3/2017: Taste June's Top Picks (San Diego Wine Co.): Typically, “Arinto (40%), Trajadura (30%), & Loureiro (30%); Total destemming, pneumatic pressing, & alcoholic fermentation @ 59°F.” [“6.3 g/L T.A. & 3.12 pH” are the “typical” figures cited.]

TOO cold

N: CLOSED; Citrus (oranges?) & flowers?

P: Med, poss LM, body; Rndish entry with almost swtish frt nicely balanced by an acidity which leads into a lingering, pleasant finish. Drink now & over the next 6-9 mos, I'm guessing. 10% ABV; [As of early Apr '20, wine-searcher still shows 1 source @ $8.50]. (1017 views)

 Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 10/26/2016 & rated 84 points: Values from Spain & Portugal: Pale lemon color with a slight spritz. Aromas of white peaches, juicy pineapple, lots of white and yellow flowers. Bright and light-bodied on the palate with some slight sweetness but crisp acidity. White peaches galore, guava, lime, this is a fun, fruity, floral and pleasantly easy-drinking Vinho Verde. A blend of 40% Arinto, 30% Trajadura, 30% Loureiro. (1900 views)
