Tasting - Nopa Vinho Verde


Name: Nopa Vinho Verde 
Variety:  50% Arinto 50% Azal 
Region: Vinho Verde
Country: Portugal 
Year: 2010
Price: $13 --> $5.95 (close out) 
Shop review: 50% Arinto and 50% Azal. The result is elegant, silky, fresh, and well balanced, with a fine citrus brightness.  Ideal as an aperitif or as a perfect accompaniment to seafood, poultry, pasta, salads, spicy oriental food, and grilled white meat.  Enjoy in moderation and in good company.  The Vinho Verde is proudly produced in Portugal. 
My review: LOVED IT, BOUGHT IT, WOULD LOOK FOR IT AGAIN! It was very clean and although it was very acidic, that wasn't the dominating factor.  I definitely picked up the citrus flavors.  I don't know what else to say about it, clean -- crisp -- citrus -- acidic.     
Food: no food
