Espiral Vinho Verde 2009

A bit thin and acidic for our taste. Sorry I cannot give a higher score.

It was a $3 wine and quite frankly tasted like it.

This Vinhno Verde or "green wine" is excellent. Slightly sparkling with notes of green apple; its low alcohol content makes it perfect for a hot summer day. Definitely worth trying for the price.

Off-dry, slightly sparkling, very light and fruity. I've only found it at Trader Joe's in MN. Excellent with chicken.

Good yellow color. Almost beyond frizzante with a little extra carbonation that does eventually fade as the bottle gets enjoyed. Nose is citrus (lemon and star fruit), dandelion, honey, and salty, wet rocks, rather beach-like. Subtle undertones of grass. Big lemon attack. Dry minerality, yet also sweet. Walks a fine line between dry and sweet. Very nice. Tart finish that surprisingly lasts and lasts, turning a little more sweet than dry, yet STILL retaining that wet mineral effect. The “lemonade” of wine, in a good way. Not overly complex, nor should it be. About $5 @ TJ’s.

This is my favorite everyday white. Since, beef and lamb are only occasionally on the menu, I don't drinks as much red as I used to. The bubbles remind me of a good Sekt or Champagne without biting my palate. So, I find this wine something to drink as refreshment, and because the alcohol is low it does not interfere with my low carb lifestyle.

It is very crisp, refreshing & perfect as an appertif or anytime. Found at Trader Joe's in Modesto. Great price point & as good as more expensive wines!
