Vintage Cellar Tasting - Praia Vino Verde


Name: Aveleda Praia

Grape Variety: Vinho Verde
Region: Vinho Verde
Country: Portugal
Year: 2013
Price: $10...Sale $8.95
Wine & Spirits Review: (Score 92) A blend of 40% Arinto, 30% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura and 10% Azal.

Full of fruit, a lasting peach flavor targeted with laserlike acidity through the finish. It has the bite of salty ocean air and a lot of zing. For langoustines.

My Review: Lots of oak and citrus flavors on the nose. It had a sweet mid-palette but a harsh acidic finish. It was a bit too sour for my taste. I am really surprised it was ranked a 92 because I didn't think that highly of it.

*Did not have with food
