Product Description

Overview

Winery: Encostas do Lima

Lima Vinho Verde 2010 contains grape varieties: 80% Loureiro and 20% Trajadura
All Vinho Verde (or green wines – meaning young, not green in flavor) are the best in the first 18 months. The wine is fresh, crisp, lively with a touch of spritz.  With low alcohol, it is best as an aperitif or with seafood.  Definitely a summer drink.

"Pale golden silver color. Bright floral aromas of peaches, raspberry and honeysuckle with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a crisp, tart citrus and talc accented finish. A delightful sipper that is sure to please."
