Wine Spectator: "[$10 list] A crisp white, offering vibrant aromas and flavors of fresh-cut green apple, with vanilla and mineral notes. Drink now. (6/30/12)"
Producer notes: "This is a classic Vinho Verde. Light in color with a slight spritz. On the nose it is fruity, light and lively. On the palate it is light [only 9% alcohol], refreshing and delicious. The acidity is refreshing and the wine is great fun. Vinho Verde is traditionally non-vintage and consumed quickly, so the wine on the shelf should always be a fresh bottling. The way to make a proper Vinho Verde is to suppress the malolactic fermentation and inject carbon dioxide at bottling to give the wine its characteristic spritz. The Vinho Verde region is along the Atlantic Coast of Northwestern Portugal. The name translates to 'green wine' because the grapes are harvested slightly under ripe to retain crisp acidity and make wines that go perfectly with the local seafood and the warm summers of Portugal. The traditional Vinho Verde grapes are Loureiro for aroma, Trajadura for body and Padernã [more commonly called Arinto] for acidity. Our blend is Loureiro +/- 50%, Trajadura +/- 40% and Pedernã +/- 10%. Our grapes come from The Braga, Barcelos and Guimãraes which are sub regions within the Vinho Verde appellation."

Marquês de Montemor is a tiny winery located in the province of Alentejo in south-central Portugal. Alentejo is the warmest wine region in Portugal. To preserve the fresh, fruity aromas and flavors, the wine was produced, fermented then aged for 6 months in stainless steel tank. Named after the ruler of the original lands in this area, Marquês de Montemor is made from 40% Aragonês (Tempranillo), 30% Touriga Nacional and 30% Trincadeira. The resulting wine is a fruity, juicy, earthy, balanced little red. Medium bodied with an intense purple color, good ripe, earthy dark berry notes and easy going finish, it is a versatile wine suited for any occasion.
