Gazela Vinho Verde NV
Vinho Verde, Northern Portugal, PortugalPart of the mighty Sogrape empire (of Mateus Rosé and Sandmans fame), this ubiquitous Vinho Verde has been cracked and enjoyed the world over. NV, low in alcohol (9%) and with its characteristic spritz, this blend of traditional Vinho Verde grapes (Loureiro, Pedernä, Trajadura, ++) ticks all the boxes for a cheerful, accessible, friendly, crisp white.

Gazela Vinho Verde NV
Vinho Verde, Northern Portugal, PortugalNot surprisingly refreshing at 9 percent alcohol and under screwcap with a pinch of CO2 to liven it up on the palate. The nose is mix of citrus and green melon, guava and mineral notes. The wine is colourless but the attack fresh with more citrus water and fresh fruit. Think summer salads and alfresco dining. Good value here and crazy cheap in the US at $4.99.Tasted: 29 April 2012Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $9.99 | 750ml | BCLS |

Gazela Vinho Verde NV
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:| BC | $9.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
