This might not be what you're typically thinking of when you think of Vinho Verde. There's no little playful spritz, and it's a little bit higher alcohol than what you might expect (but still a relatively moderate 12.5%ABV). The nose has a lot of lemon, but also touches of stone fruit, both white peach and something that kind of leans towards apricot but doesn't quite get there. The palate is bright and fruity and really deliciously crisp, a wonderful line of acid pushing through the whole palate while the fruit is peach and lemon with a little touch of pithiness on the finish. This is really lovely and a super delicious bottle of white wine. There's definitely some tartness there but it's so refreshing while somehow pushing up against medium bodied, with an impressive depth and lingering semi-saline river rock kind of finish. Just fantastic.
