N.V. Broadbent ‘Vino Verde’
50% Loureiro, 40% Trajadura, 10% Pedernã
Portugal
…This is a true classic Vinho Verde. It is light in color with a slight spritz from bubbles. On the nose it is refreshing, light and lively. On the palate, it has a slight spritz, it is light [only 9% alcohol] and delicious. It is very “more-ish”, an English tasting term meaning that you want to drink more of it! In fact, it is so light, refreshing and easy to drink; it is good that it is low alcohol. The acidity is refreshing and the wine is great fun.
