Tasting - Encostas do Lima Vinho Verde

The Vintage Cellar, 1/24/13

Name:  Encostas do Lima Vinho Verde
Variety:  80% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura
Region:  Vinho Verde
Country:  Portugal
Year:  2010
Price:  $4.95
Public review:  "Pale golden silver color.  Bright floral aromas of peaches, raspberry and honeysuckle with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a crisp, tart citrus and talc accented finish.  A delightful sipper that is sure to please."
My review:  Fruity, somewhat sweet.  A little bubbly.  Very light with a little bit of tang.  I can definitely taste the "young grape" in this wine.
With food?:  I did not try this wine with food, though the Vintage Cellar provided turkey jerky bits with the tasting.  I preferred to sample the wine alone.
Did buy?:  Yes!
