  • 86 points - Wine Spectator
Tasting:

Appearance: Very clear. slight green tint.

Aroma: Very aromatic with citrus notes. Simple, yet delightful bouquet.

Taste / Texture: The slight carbonation gives it a tingly mouth feel. The blood orange note is clear. The wine has a medium body. The flavors work harmonious towards a generously flavorful taste.

Aftertaste: Lasting, somewhat coating, and quite pleasant on the tongue.

Decision: Excellent, excellent wine. It would pair great with a salad or white meat summer dish. Also a great wine to drink by itself. As a fan of champagne, I love bubbles and their tingling taste on the tongue. Definitely a keeper. 90/100

  3. Mr. Broadbent,

    Thank you so much for visiting my little wine blog. Though I am by no means a wine connoisseur or word-smith, I thoroughly enjoyed your Vinho Verde and I'm glad that enjoyment came across in the review. In fact, I plan on purchasing another bottle to share with my mother when she visits for Thanksgiving.

    I appreciate you pointing me towards your Facebook page. I just became a fan.

    Best wishes,

    Lauren
