Vinho Verde, Northern Portugal, PortugalAs winemakers continue to over manipulate so many modern white wines the appeal of simple vinho verde, the green wine of Portugal, continues to soar. Look for traces of green melon, mineral salts and nutty notes. Colourless yet fresh with a hint of CO2 that refreshes the mid-palate and highlights its feint fruit. As I like to say citrus water is a good description of this wine that if served al fresco with the right, light summer salads can be fun and very refreshing. Perfect for the hot nights on the patio.Tasted: 28 July 2009Tasted by: Prices:
