Tasting - Espiral Vinho Verde

Name: Espiral Vinho Verde
Variety: Alvarinho
Region: Minho
Country: Portugal
Year: NV
Price: $3.99


Critic Review:  "This Vinho Verde or "greenw wine" is excellent. Slightly sparkling with notes of green apple; it's low alcohol content makes it perfect for a hot summer day. Definitely worth trying for the price. Off-dr, slightly sparkling, very light and fruity. Excellent with chicken."

My Review:  Vinho Verde is currently my absolute favorite wine to drink, the Espiral being my actual favorite type.  This Vinho Verde is very cheaply priced, and is also my favorite.  It smells like green apples, and also tastes fruity, much like apples and maybe a little bit of pear.  It is light, crisp and a little bit tart.  One of my favorite things about this wine is that it is bubbly.  This Vinho Verde is perfect for warm days because it is refreshing, but I like to drink it all throughout the year.

I tasted this wine without food.
