Tasting- Quintas Melgaco Blue

Name: Quintas Melgaco Blue
Variety: Vinho Verde
Region: Vinho Verde
Country: Portugal
Year: 2013
Price: $10 Sale: $5.95
Expert 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.

My Review: This wine was light in color and crisp in smell. The medium strength aroma of violet and lavender came through the nose. The taste was very smooth and had a wet sensation in the mouth. The after taste was mildly tart and pineapple was present through the aftertaste.

Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at the Vintage Cellar.
