Tasting - Aveleda Praia Vinho Verde

Name: Aveleda Praia Vinho Verde
Region/Country: Vinho Verde, Portugal
Year: 2013
Price: $10-- Sale $8.95

Winery Review: 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. 92 points by Wine & Spirits. 

My Review: This white wine was very light in color. Its aromatic component was very refreshing with a floral touch on the nose along with a hint of pear and peach. There was a clear taste of pear and peach with high acidity. It left my mouth watery. This was an easy wine to sip on. I tasted this on its own with no food. I would give this wine an 88.
