Tasting: Santola Vinho Verde

Name: Santola Vinho Verde
Variety: Loureiro/Pederna 
Region: Minho
Country: Portugal
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95
Shop review: "Soft and creamy, although with just the right Vinho Verde bite, this is a crisp and clean wine, boasting light pear and pink grapefruit flavors.  Off dry and very fresh." - Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Santola Vinho Verde poured a pale white in the glass.  Aromas of grass and floral notes filled the nose upon sniffing.  The palate detected flavors of lemon, with a tangy/sweet acidic finish which was very pleasant. I enjoyed this wine.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
