Tasting- Santola Vinho Verde


Name:  Santola
Variety:  Non-varietal White Blend
Region:  Vinho Verde
Country:  Portugal
Year:  Not Vintage
Price:  $7.95
Review:  Soft and creamy, although with just the right Vinho Verde bite, this is a crisp and clean wine, boasting light pear and pink grapefruit flavors.  Off dry and very fresh.
My Review:  This was my favorite wine of the day’s tasting.  It was a little bubbly with a crisp fruit smell of fresh green apples.  When tasting, the tart granny-smith flavors were present along with pears and a nice acidity.  It was a bit sour in a good was- like a lemon warhead candy with a nice finish.  I also really liked the label on this wine- a crab- because my zodiac sign is cancer. 

I tried this without food.
