Aveleda Praia Vinho Verde




Name: Aveleda Praia
Variety: A blend of 40% Arinto, 30% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura and 10% Azal.
Region: Vinho Verde
Country: Portugal
Year: 2013
Price: $10, on sale for $8.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: "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 impressions:
Very fruit forward nose, full of apple and peach.  Crisp and acidic.  The fruit flavors continue throughout.  Wow, that acid lasts a long time on your tongue; not in an unpleasant way though.  Very nice, refreshing wine.  Great for this warm weather.
