Winery review: The Loureiro in the blend delivers a burst of intensely fresh citrus and green pear fruit, lime skin, and floral aromas.  Take a sip and you’ll discover more citrus fruit, wet stones, and a touch of yeasty freshness.  The finish is bright, crisp, and dry with lingering mineral/yeast and lime notes.

 

My review: I did not like this wine very much.  It was fruity but bitter.  It also had a little bit of carbonation that I did not like at all in this wine.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
