Tasting Santola Vinho Verde

Name Santola Vinho Verde
Variety Non Varietal White Blend
Region Minho
Country Portugal
Year --
Price $7.95 

Critic's Review Soft and creamy, although with just the right Vinho Verde bite, this is a crisp and clean wine, boasting light pear and pink grapefruit flavors. Off dry and very fresh.

My Thoughts This white wine is tangy and acidic. I am not a huge fan of this Vinho Verde; it just doesn't do it for me. The nose is rough - very pungent and acidic.  There is a strong taste of grapefruit on the palate.  I detected a hint of fizziness on this otherwise harsh white. Overall, I found this white to be heavy with citrus and super dry on the finish.


This wine was not paired with any food.
