Tasting - Casal Garcia Vinho Verde


Name: 
Casal Garcia Vinho Verde 

Variety: 100% Trajadura 

Region: Vinho Verde  

Country: Portugal 

Year: 2022

Price: $7

Wine Critic Review: "Very typical Vinho Verde with the green-wine character of tangy and energetic acidity and lots of citrusy fruit. Light and nice. Serve very cold! Drink now."- James Suckling 

Wine Folly: pg 184: A regional wine blend from Portugal offered in white, rosé, and red styles. The most popular style is a low-alcohol, fruity white with a touch of spritz. Touches of lemonade, pink grapefruit, lime zest, yellow apple, and white blossom.

My Review: I got a white peach smell as well as lime from sniffing the wine. The peach and lime carried over into the taste, with the lime adding a tanginess to the wine that was welcomed. It was also quite acidic, a characteristic that I enjoyed. 

Would I Buy Again?: I would most likely buy this wine again. While not my favorite, it's low cost and ease of drinking it makes it an easy wine to buy again.
