Tasting - "Santola Vinho Verde"

  • Name: Santola
  • Variety: Vinho Verde, Loureiro adn Pederna
  • Region: Vinho Verde
  • Country: Portugal
  • Year: 2014
  • Price: Regular Price $7.95
  • Vintage Cellar 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: On the nose this wine has a very strong acidic smell of lemons, limes and grapefruit. There are also notes of rose petals and pear making is smell strong but refreshing. On the palate there is a strong acidic puckering taste. There are notes of pear, lemon, wildflowers and hay. There is a slight after burn on the finish but this wine would go well with food. 
  • Food Pairing: I had no food with this wine.
