TN: NV Broadbent Vinho Verde Branco

I've gone through almost a case of this wine this year and haven't been as diligent about posting TN's on all of them. Then again, this is a pretty consistent wine but never the less Bartholomew Broadbent's recent Facebook post on this wine made me realize I am long over due for one.

After spending most of the day outside at work I had a glass of this late last night as a night cap before bed. Sure I could have had a glass of Port, but I had a craving for something a little lighter and fresher. The thing I've always loved about this wine is the crisp acidity and tangy citrus flavors, so that made it an easy choice. This isn't a hugely complex wine, but if your looking for a light bodied, refreshingly crisp white wine with a touch of spritz it has enough going on to keep me interested...bottle after bottle after bottle. A perfect inexpensive white for the coming summer months.

Sounds good. Who produces this for Broadbent?

I don't know, but I'll check.

Considering this is only about $8-9 in the U.S. it's a fantastic value for a good inexpensive white.

I would love to see something like that around here, Vinhos Verdes are great wines for this climate! But alas...
