Casa Agricola Alexandre Relvas Vinho Verde Ciconia

Light and bright. Bubbles make it feel like a sparking wine. Lots of fun to drink.

Wierd. Effervescent. Tasty but unexpected.

Decent wine. Not a lot of character but easy to drink.

This white blend was a clear, pale yellow color. The nose was uncomplicated with bright fruit and an occasional hint of "cologne" (sandalwood? musk?). The palette was also simple and was dominated by pineapple with undertones of peach. The wine felt very, very acidic. Some bubbles appeared in the glass after pouring which gave this a tang almost like a sparkling wine. Overall, this is a good summer wine, but is not really anything exciting.

Somewhat off-putting nose, palate is fairly clean and fairly bright. not amazing to me but then again it appears to be priced at $7. So what do I expect?
