Arca Nova Colheita 2011 Vinho Verde 11%
Vinho Verde was a wine that lost me a mark on my WSET exam, as I thought it was a grape varietal from Portugal, but it is a wine region in Portugal. So I had to try it.
Lovely! All is forgiven. It's a refreshing wine with a spritz. It's like a sav blanc spritzer but hasn't lost its flavour from watering it down. It's light and refreshing and finished with a nutty flavour as it passes over your bitter taste buds. I'm very impressed! It's not harsh or acidic even though it is awash with citrus and gooseberry flavour. From a wine called "verde", I was expecting young and harsh, but its not, not at all, at least not this Arca Nova.
I'm imagining myself sitting next to a swimming pool in the 1940s, Great Gatsby style.
We scored this a 3 on likeability and 3 for quality = 6/10, a surprisingly decent score.
