Touquinheiras Alvarinho Vinho Verde 2011
Vinho Verde, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis wine is made by a group of winemakers specializing in specific regions of Portugal named Wines & Winemakers by Saven, and one of Portugal's leading winemakers, Anselmo Mendes, made this wine. Peach and orange blossom on first approach, with creamy lees, yellow apple and ripe pear, bold pineapple and an undercurrent of almonds throughout. 15 g/l of residual sugar is all but hidden in this bright wine, evident only in the round, textured mouthfeel. This has the body and heft to stand up to smoked seafood.Tasted: 11 March 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $20.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
