Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Shrimp cocktail
  • Butter lettuce salad with shaved fennel, radishes, tangy goat cheese, and meyer lemon dressing
  • Crostini with Jamón Serrano and Manchego

This dry and slightly spritzy Vinho Verde is the perfect aperitif wine, showing sassy flavors of meyer lemon, white grapefruit, and ocean brine. A nice mineral edge adds impressive complexity to this fabulous value bottling from Portgual. Dollar for dollar, this is a great find that completely overdelivers on its price! Extremely crowd-pleasing, crisp, and zesty.
