• Shop review:
• "The result is elegant, silky, fresh, and well balanced, with a fine citrus brightness.  Ideal as an aperitif or as a perfect accompaniment to seafood, poultry, pasta, salads, spicy oriental food and grilled white meat.  Enjoy in moderation and in good company.  This Vinho Verde is proudly produced in Portugal."
• My review:
• This wine was very bitter, possible due to the dominant lemon and citrus notes.  It tasted very fresh and bright; the fact that it was served cool greatly contributed to this.  I think this wine would be good to drink with appetizers, and/or in the summertime.
• I did not have this wine with food.
