Tasting - Aveleda Praia Venho Verde

Name: Aveleda Praia Vinho Verde 2013
Variety: 40% Arinto, 30% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura, 10% Azal
Region: Vinho Verde
Country: Portugal
Year: 2013
Price: $10.00


Shop Review: A blend of 40% Arinto, 30% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura and 10% Azal. Full of fruit, a lasting peach flavor targeted with laserlike acidity through the finish. It has the bite of salty ocean air and a lot of zing. For langoustines.

My Review: This wine was very pale, light yellow color. I could smell aromas of apples, pears, and also melon. There was also acidity coming through on the nose that was very apparent on the taste. On the palate, the wine left a crisp finish. There was hardly a trace of alcohol which I liked. This was tasted without food.
