  August 13, 2015 - De couleur or pâle aux reflets verdâtres. Au nez on sent une grande fraicheur, avec un fruité citronné et des cailloux mouillés. La bouche est pleine de tonus, avec un léger reste de gaz, et des flaveurs qui rappellent l'olfactif. Titre un beau 11,5% Alc. Pas très long mais un parfait partenaire pour la terrasse!

  July 10, 2014 - Light straw color. Not much of a spritz. Nose of lemon, pineapple, some white peach, I'm now getting some interesting nutshell notes. Palate: Bursting with green melon, apricot and white peach. river stones. Clean and full of floral tones, some minerals, slight nutty and white tea aspects. I know Vinho Verdhe is usually consumed immediately, but this second year stuff is still solid.

  May 11, 2014 - Cloudy straw color in the glass, visible effervesence. Bright, intense nose of tropical fruit (pineapple, apricot, melon), honey and a hint of fresh flowers. There's ample acidity to carry the sweetness, this is probably off-dry and sparkles on the palate. There some slate/granite minerality on the palate as well. Medium-length finish. This is a great example of VV and unusual that it is a varietal bottling. It held up against some chicken biryani, and on a warm summer day, you could get into some trouble with a bottle of this in the backyard or on the porch.
  
  Full Disclosure: I like this wine so much that we distribute it in NYC.

  September 11, 2013 - A straw-slightly grassy color. Bursting with lemon, pineapple, honeysuckle and minerals on the nose. Starts off with a big dose of acid, but the creamy fruit comes in to back it up (green melon, pineapple, apricot). I like the kick of minerals and the dried honey and white tea aspects to this wine. Crisp, very clean and refreshing.
