Tasting - Quintas Melgaço Blue Vihno Verde 2013 - Mar. 3, 2016















Name: Quintas Melgaço Blue Vihno Verde 2013
Variety: Vihno Verde
Country: Portugal
Year: 2013
Price: $10

Winery Review: Refreshingly crisp white wine from Portugal--Vinho Verde is soft, light and refreshing, and is an uncompromising and ideal wine for everyday pleasure. Its bright color and pineapple aromas are followed by citrus notes. The palate is clean and fresh. Vinho Verde is an excellent accompaniment to fish and shell fish, white meats and salads. (The Vintage Cellar)

My Review:I have finally started to like the white wines from around the world. This wine was fantastic and I was blown away by how much I would enjoy this wine. For the first time in this class, I have bought a wine wine to take home and enjoy. Fun fact, these Vihno Verde's are made out of more than 40 types of grapes! This wine had a great nose of fruity pineapple and grass. It tasted magnificent with a light refreshing taste that was delightfully fruity yet dry at the end. It was in my book, a homerun.
