Another Aveleda

$9.99
Shane’s Notes

I absolutely love Aveleda’s Charamba, so I had to try their Vinho Verde. I’ll admit that it took me a glass to warm up to this one. It is light, spritzy and tight on the palate entry. Once the palate opens, it reveals an intense, bright citrussy flavor (lemon with maybe a tinge of lime) that disappears rather quickly. It is a very enjoyable quaffer and is in the running for our next top twelve list.
