Santola Vinho Verde


Name: Santola VinhoVerde
Variety: Vinho Verde
Region: Mealhada

Winery 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.
-Vintage Cellar

My review:
Smell - This wine smelled very fruity and citrusy. The smell was a bit sour, but I think that was just the grapefruit. I also got a lot of pear in the smell.

Taste - This wine was a bit sour at first, but that was the grapefruit flavor coming through. After I let some air into my mouth, the wine turned really sweet with a hint of pear flavor. It was overall really fruity and slightly tart. I really enjoyed this wine.


I tasted this on its own without food.
