July 29, 2015 - Clear, slightly effervescent, yellow-green hue. Low viscosity. On the nose, fresh, clean, and vibrant citrus - really gets the juices flowing. On the palate it has high acid, dry but with a fruity character to lend a subtle sweetness. Again, more citrus - in the vein of lemon/lime. Fresh. The slight spritz is noticeable, but not near the levels of soda.
Enjoyed this wine with spicy orange chicken asian-inspired dish. Would also work very well with a salad. A great summer wine. Clocks in at only 9%.

June 6, 2015 - Cheap and cheerful, this is a delightful summer quaffer that would pair well with seafood, salads or just by itself. Its crisp acidity and lightly effervescence refreshes the palate. It is very light-bodied and, at only 9% abv, it does not slow you down. Its taste is reminiscent of Sprite, with lemon, lime, green apple and some minerality on the finish. Drink now, not intended for aging. A great value.

April 28, 2015 - This is pretty good Vinho Verde. There is a lively nose with herbs and a touch of "eau de gato" in front of the lemon lime aromas. More lively than typical young little bubbles. An influence of evergreen on the slightly bitter grapefruit meets green apple fruit. Smooth, actually commendable, almost inspired, balancing acid. Very refreshing. Some minerality appears with citrus on the finish.
