Shop/wine critic/winery 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." Vintage Cellar
My review: This wine had aromas of tropical fruit, grapefruit, sour apple, and other subtle citrus notes like orange and lemon. This was a semi-sweet wine that was medium-bodied and very drinkable/sippable for a summer day. It had a sour tang, but it wasn't acidic enough to make that a huge problem at all, it was pretty nice! The greatest taste notes I got out of this wine were the tropical fruit notes as well as sour apple. I would definitely recommend this wine and would try it again!
This wine was tasted at Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
