Dom Diogo Azal Vinho Verde White Blend 2020

Vinho Verde region of Portugal. Light body, but just enough acid to carry this wine. Smells like cucumber skin, faint candy in the nose. Muted soft grapefruit and lime, flowery (lime blossom?), cucumber. — 4 years ago

Aveleda

Casal Garcia Vinho Verde Rosé Blend

Maybe one of the best food wines?? Vinho Verde are amazing with food then add the ROSE’ aspect and it’s even better. Slight carbonation leads to nice greenish-strawberry flavors. Seek the wine out ! — 7 years ago

Quinta de Val Boa - Vinho Verde 2013 - One of my favorite and untypical Vinho Verde - small production by Jorge Albuquerque da Quinta, blend of Trajadura, Pederna and Azal they produce a range of three wines - this one is elegant intense , floral - minimum intervention in the winemaking - Dirk Niepoort is around 😀 — 10 years ago

Incredibly hard to stop drinking. The lychee and mango nose is fantastic, but it's really the crunchy and tropical flavors on the finish that demand the next sip. BBQ's and pool parties could all use this juice. Soft and easy yet still mouthwatering, this is hedonism at its finest - Which is basically why we're all here, right
Located in the relatively warmer Basto sub-zone of the Vinho Verde, Quinta da Raza is making some delicious, original examples of Vinho Verde, exploring grape varieties beyond the usual array of grapes in the region. In this case, Azal is the second most widely planted varietal in Minho (Vinho Verde) region. It is unusual to see varietal bottling. This is a lip smacking wine, you can see that this varietal brings the zip to Vinho Verde blends. It is not all bracing with acidity; there are some expressive citrus and chilled tropical tones, minerality, and a faint fizz that the wines are famous for. A fun alternative to the classic blends from the region.

We exchanged notes on the K&L staff reviews. If they rave about a bottle, you can take their recco's to the bank.
