Winery Review: "Yellow color with green hints. Expressive wine, fresh, very aromatic. This Sauvignon Blanc displays grapefruit flavors, with hints of melon and honey. It finishes with bracing acidity and fresh mouth feels that make it a terrific aperitif and an excellent accompaniment to virtually all seafood, especially shellfish." Vintage Cellar wine notes
My Review: Compared to the Vinho Verde I thought this wine was more bitter and pungent in both it's taste and smell. It had a deeper yellow color to it and seemed drier. I couldn't detect any distinct flavors or added accents but the taste mellowed out after its initial bite, leaving a nice surprise. Overall it might have been a little too sharp for my liking but I wouldn't be too against drinking it.
I sampled the wine without food.
