Soalheiro, Vinho Verde, Moncao, Alvarinho 2008 In the nose you’ll find lime and stones. In the mouth the lime really shows, with plenty of tart character, long acidity, good concentration and a bit of petillance – very refreshing. I know you’ve had many a lean Vinho Verde but this is not that. The grapes are all Alvarinho grown on the hills around Melgaco. Produced and bottled by Quinta de Soalheiro in Melgaco 12.5% $18.99 at Bottle Barn
