Critic's Review 87 points, Stephan Tanzer. Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value.

My Thoughts This citrus monster will kick you in the face! This white features a strong, acidic nose. Hints of mint are apparent in the nose and cut the acidity slightly. For me, this wine is similar to the Vinho Verde in overall quality - not my favorite.  It definitely finishes dry and brisk, as its review states, but the heavy citrus on the palate is too much for my liking.


This wine was not paired with any food.
