2012 Muralhas de Monção Vinho Verde

The nose shows grass, lemon-lime, and grapefruit aromas. The palate leads with soft lemon lime flavors, the bright acids counter-balanced with ginger snap. Fresh, bright, and just slightly frizzante, this is made for picnic blankets and lazy summer afternoons. Drink with fried chicken. Recommended. 87.
