Nat Cool Vinho Verde 2024
Lightly hazy and bubbly, smells of pear, apple, and lime leaves. The taste is crisp and mostly dry with flavors of mead, pear, green apple, and lime on a lightly effervescent medium body. The finish is long and moderately low in bitterness, featuring notes of grape leaves, lime zest, wine gums, and mineral water. Overall, it’s drier and perhaps more complex than the Broadbent Vinho Verde, but I think I preferred the refreshing fruitiness of that one, this feels closer to a pinot grigio with a splash of lime juice.
