TN: 2005 Encostas Do Lima Vinho Verde

Post by Andy Velebil »

This is a very light and crisp white that makes a wonderful apertif. A nice touch of pear and lemon, with just a hint of butter and a bit of acidicness on the finish.

I had this at the Krohn's tasting last week, and I bought a bottle. Tonight I had it with a slightly spicy chicken bowl that it went very well with. Drink this one well chilled and you will be delighted.

More info:

Alcohol: 10.5 %

This is a Co-Op from the surrounding vineyards owner of the city Ponte de Lima. Very nice city with the oldest Roman bridge still standing in Portugal, you have to see this by night, it is really nice with the ligthning effects.
