Tasting- Quintas Melgaco Blue Vinho Verde



Name: Quintas Melgaco Blue
VarietyVinho Verde       


Region: Vinho Verde
Country: Portugal

Year: 2013
Price: Regular $10; Sale $5.95

Winery Review:  Refreshingly crisp white wine from Portugal--Vinho Verde is soft, light and refreshing, and is an uncompromising and ideal wine for everyday pleasure. Its bright color and pineapple aromas are followed by citrus notes. The palate is clean and fresh. Vinho Verde is an excellent accompaniment to fish and shell fish, white meats and salads.    

My Review: Bright, golden yellow in hue. There were very summery fruits experienced through the nose such as raspberry, nectarine, and pineapple. The palate was peculiar and tasted almost herb-like, there was also noticeable  bitter asparagus notes.
Food?:  did not pair with food.
