Wine Tasting: Nopa Vinho Verde

Name: Nopa Vinho Verde
Variety:  Arinto/ Azal
Region:
Vinho Verde
 Country: Portugal
Year: 
2008
Price:
 $5.95


Winery 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.Vintage Wine Cellar 02/23/2013

My Review: A light refreshing wine with a golden color.  Nopa has hints of apply and citrus on the nose with an earthy, grassy edge.  The wine itself was mildly dry and lacked the sweetness you'd expect in whites.   Overall is a decent white wine I'd like to try with seafood. 
 
Food: I did not try this wine with food.
