Vivacious Vino - Review of Conde Villar Vinho Verde DOC

Name: Conde Villar Vinho Verde DOC
Variety: 50% Loureiro, 40% Arinto, 10% Trajadura
Region: ?
Country: Portugal
Year: 2012
Price: $20 (on Wednesdays at Boudreaux’s it’s only $10)

Wine Review: Visual: Bright and clear with light hay reflexes. Aroma: Abundant and elegant floral tones joined by pleasant and fresh citrus tones. Flavour: Complex structure. Round and soft with a good aftertaste. Perfect balance between alcohol and acidity.


My Review: The smell is fruity, no acidic smell. You can smell the fresh orchards of apples, a little citrus (lemon and grapefruit), pears and apricots. It is a sparkling white wine and is just the right amount of sweet and right amount of dry! When tasting you can taste the citruses from the smell plus a little lime and orange. The apple taste is like a green or yellow delicious apple. Again, the apricot flavor is there! So yummy!!!


Extra Notes: I always go to Boudreaux’s Wine Wednesday and while I always plan to try a new wine, I never make the commitment to it! I have to get this wine! Out of everything I’ve ever tried in my entire wine drinking life, this is my TOTAL favorite!
