Professional 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 review: This wine had a crisp, citrus aroma with some softer, juicy undertones, almost like cantaloupe. It had a very light, bubbly body and would taste really refreshing on a hot summer day. The clean, citrus flavors reminded me of an alcoholic Sierra Mist with more acidity. I could definitely drink this wine by itself and see it paired with salmon or some type of seafood.
I tasted this wine without food.
