March 9, 2011 - A blend of 60% Alvarinho and 40% Trajadura fermented in stainless steel tanks. Bright medium - lemon green core with just a tiny bit of petillance. Clean nose, medium intensity, youthful aromas of jasmine flowers, fresh peach and nectarine and steely minerality. Dry, medium + acidity, low alcohol (11.5%), medium body, medium + flavor intensity of grapefruit, ripe stone fruit, citrus and wet stone like minerality with a medium length slightly effervescent finish. Overall a good quality Vinho Verde which is a little richer and drier no doubt do to the predominance of Alvarinho. Very balanced even though the acidity was high the purity and intensity of the fruit matched it well. About $10 US retail makes this a steal of a deal for me.
