Tasting - Aveleda Praia Vinho Verde

Name: Aveleda Praia
Variety: Vinho Verde
Country: Portugal

Region: Vinho Verde
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95 (regular $10)


Wine Critic Review: (92- Wine & Spirits)
A blend of 40% Arinto, 30% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura and 10% Azal.
Full of fruit, a lasting peach flavor targeted with laserlike acidity through the finish. It has the bite of salty ocean air and a lot of zing. For langoustines.

My Review:
This wine had an extremely fruity and floral nose. It had a citrusy smell to it. It had a very fresh, slightly sweet taste to it. It was very light and fruity and definitely had an acidic, slightly tart finish.
I tasted this wine alone without food.
