Wine Critic Review: "It's rare to find a Vinho Verde – the famously light and refreshing "green" white wine of Portugal – that isn't delightful, but this is one of the best of the breed. And there's no better time to quaff these wines than in the spring and summer. This version is lightly effervescent, with a lively acidity that wakes up the palate. It combines lime and peach flavors with a whiff of sea breeze. Somehow it manages to be both ethereal and penetrating."
My Review: This smelled softer than the first, a bit flowery and vaguely like oranges. It tasted sharper though, and a bit like white grape juice. I did not have this wine with food.
