Fresh nose and crisp taste even though the acidity had already been a bit rounded. Good , maybe a bit simple, wine with a very appealing characteristics. Drink now.

Reserveløsning til nestlesuppe, brød og manchego. Tung gulplomme-frukt, litt stikkende avsluttning med fine mineraler, aromatisk. Gikk fint til suppa, kanskje litt mye. Litt egg og jern. Aromatisk og frisk. 170 NOK

One of the better Vinho Verdes I've had this summer. Good body, without sacrificing tension and verve. Better than average complexity and length. Quite delicious.

A bit more body than a typical Vinho Verde. Classic lemon/lime flavors, with a rounder peachy element. Not much fizz here, with good bracing acidity. Very well balanced and even got better with some air. I can see the Savignon Blanc comparisons, but not the herbaceous, grassy kind - more of the citrusy type. Quite nice.

If you think you don't like Vihno Verde, think again. This fresh and vibrant white is truly great. Beautiful clear and shiny color, light yellow with green tinges. Nose is explosive, with notes of tropical fruits : peaches, green bananas and fresh green almonds. The palate is quite coherent with the nose, with a very nice texture, starting creamy but held together by a nice acidity on the finish. Tasted bling, this reminded me of a nice white Rhône : fleshy tropical fruits and a nice lingering minerality. Clearly worth the 10 euros it sells for in Lisboa.

Excellent. This was all Sauv. blanc on the nose; I was surprised. Nice citrus, a little grass, and a hint of minerality on the nose. This becomes much more interesting on the palate. The is a hint of creaminess on the palate that really gives a fullness to this wine. The acidity is tight on the attack and then really rounds out with a nice chalky/minerally finish. I could guzzle this stuff all day long.

This wine is so young, fresh, fruity and full of strong acidity. The nose is rich and full of citrus, peach, flowers and minerality. The palate is quite similar to sauvignon blanc but with more sweetness and flowers. The balance is outstanding.
I enjoyed this all the way and it opened my eyes for portugal as a white wine country.

This time around the bottle came across as a hot mess. Not flawed, but I didn't find near the enjoyment that I found in previous bottles.
