Vinho Verde, Portugual
Regular Price: $12
Sale Price: $5.95
Tasting Notes from Vintage Cellar: Fresh and juicy, with fresh-cut apple and gooseberry flavors that feature notes of citrus and light spice on the finish. The name “Lagosta” means “lobster,” and this would be a great seafood accompaniment.
This wine was the first wine of the tasting. I found this appropriate as it was a very light, crisp wine. This was my first time trying a wine from this region and actually the country as well. From the aroma and look of it, I thought I was not going to like this wine very much, as I generally prefer fuller bodied wines. This wine was a very light yellow/green color, nearly clear. It smelled very fresh and citrusy. I found the wine to be very crisp and refreshing, but not as acidic as I thought it would be. I ended up really enjoying this wine and bought a bottle for myself, as its price was unbeatable! I have not done so yet, but I plan to pair this wine with a light pasta dish with white sauce or a seafood dish.
