April 18, 2018 - Vraiment aimé ce vinho verde,nez un peu discret sur la poire,en bouche wow minéralité un peu petillant avec une acidité vive qui es balancé par des notes de fruit de la passion,tangerine,poires et un petit peu d!herbes coupé,la finale es surprennant et c est la tangerine qui prend la place avec un petit murmure de passion.parfait avec sushis

February 3, 2018 - 13% alcohol, 1 g/l residual sugar, 5,4 g/l acidity. Tasted blind in VV.
Pale lemony yellow color. Very mute and restrained nose with understated aromas of tangy citrus fruits and some steely minerality. The wine is thin, mild and quite light-bodied on the palate with very dilute flavors of lemon-flavored mineral water and some apple peel. Medium-to-moderate in acidity. The finish is rather short with dilute flavors of tart green apples, some tangy citrus fruits and a hint of stony minerality.
What on earth has happened to this wine? This used to be one of the loveliest non-Riesling dry acid bombs around here, but now this was just very thin, dilute and unimpressive by all accounts. I don't know if this was just an off bottle, perhaps I need to revisit this in the future. Based on this wine, definitely not worth the 14,90€.
