Tasting - Encostas do Lima Vinho Verde


Name: Encostas do Lima Vinho Verde
Variety: 80% Loureiro and 20% Trajadura
Region: Vinho Verde, Lima
Country: Portugal
Year: 2010
 Price: $4.95 (sale)

Winery review: Pale golden silver color. Bright floral aromas of peaches, raspberry and honeysuckle with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a crisp, tart citrus accented finish.  A delightful sipper that is sure to please.

My review: Not a bad start for a first wine tasting.  It did not have too strong of a wine flavor but had more of a light and smooth texture.  It was definitely a crisp tart flavor that left a good aftertaste.  I have to say that it wasn't bad and I would consider trying it again after I've tried a few others.

This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
