Winery review:
The first wine we tasted was produced by Santola. Santola’s Vinho Verde ($7) is a very pleasant lemon/citrus “beach wine” – you
Price: $8can drink during the day, not get too bombed, and still pair it with shell fish that evening. Quite fitting as the label of this delightful light wine has a crab on the front, which just happens to be the name of the Vineyard – Santola: aka spider crab according to Google language tools.
Casal Garcia produced the other Vinho Verde($7) that we slurped this weekend. Again with lemon, citrus and refreshing bubbles, the Casal Garcia showed just a little more finesse and a slightly smother finish than the Santola. This was my favorite to the two, but whichever offering you can find, give it a try. They are easy on the wallet and good to drink.
My review: Overall I found this wine to be too "citrusy". I was not able to taste it with food. However, I do not think it would go well. It tasted a bit little like cleaning supplies. I found the wine to be surprisingly smooth but too light for my taste.
