Tasting-"Praia Vinho Verde"

Name: Aveleda Praia 
Variety: Vinho Verde 
Year: 2013 
Region: Vinho Verde
Country: Portugal 
Price: $8.95

Vintage Cellar ReviewWine Spectator 92 Wine and Spirits "A blend of 40% Arinto, 30% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura and 10% Azal.
Full of fruit, a lasting peach flavor targeted with laserlike acidity through the finish. It has the bite of salty ocean air and a lot of zing. For langoustines."

My Review: The Vinho Verde is a blended wine with an essentially clear color and a hint of yellow. The scent of the wine was mixed with citrus accents such as clementines as well as a sweet melon. The wine had a light body with a sour apple taste at the beginning. I throughly enjoyed the wine as it reminded me of a summer day. Can't wait to buy a bottle of this wine!
