Tasting - Sontola

Name: Santola
Variety: Vinho Verde
Region: 
Country: Portugal
Year: 
Price: $7.95

Winery Review: Soft and creamy, although with just the right Vinho Verde bite, this is a crisp and clean wine, boasting light pear and pink grapefruit flavors. Off dry and very fresh.

My review:  This was an excellent white wine.  It had a pale gold color which was nice to see versus the regular pale green.  On the nose the wine was pretty fragrant.  There was a strong grapefruit smell, with some plum, pear, and cherry.  The taste started tart and then went to sweet.  It was a very smooth wine with no heat, most likely because it was only 9.9% alcohol.  This wine was medium bodied and very good.  I would recommend.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
