Tasting- Santola Vinho Verde

Name: Santola Vinho Verde
Variety:White blend
Region: Minho
Country: Portugal
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

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:A fine example of a light-bodied white wine with smooth citrus flavors that blend nicely with fresh, bubbly characteristics within the wine.  If you're looking for a soft, fruity white wine with a well-balanced body this is the wine for you.  I would absolutely try this wine again, because it had a delicate texture on my palate and a pleasant citrusy tang that would compliment light meals and appetizers.  The interesting thing about this wine was that it almost had sparking wine characteristics, with an airy body and bubbly presence.
