Vintage Cellar Review: Pale golden silver color. Bright floral aromas of peaches, raspberry and honeysuckle with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a crisp, tart citrus and talc accented finish. A delightful sipper that is sure to please.
Now I am more accustom to white wines rather than red wines, but also go for sweeter wines. It tasted much dryer than I go for, but the bright citrus-fruity flavors (like the peach and raspberry the review mentions) more than made up for it. It was really delicious and different since I always thought dry wines had a tartness, but that wasn't the case here. It was really tasty overall and I would definitely drink it again. I would like to taste more Vinho Verdes before I make any more judgements though.
Even on the first wine, my ideas of wines are already changed, since I had a dryer wine, but other nuances of the flavor sort of hide it for me.
