Tasting - "Aveleda Praia Vinho Verde"

Name: Aveleda Praia
Variety: Vinho Verde
Region: Vinho Verde
Country: Portugal
Year: 2013
Regular Price: $10
Sale Price: $8.95

Winery Notes:
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:
This wine was clear and smells floral, and like pear, with a few hints of butter and yeast. The wine tasted warm, fruity, specifically like green apple. The wine smelled acidic, but tasted well balanced. There was a metallic aftertaste reminiscent of the smell on your hands after handling coins. This wine was tasted without food.
