Casal de Ventozela Vinho Verde, 2014

A light, well-made and thoroughly enjoyable vinho verde from Majestic

Vinho Verde is Portugal's young "green wine" for early drinking; at its best, it is an easy sipper in summer in the garden or at other times of the year with friends or for an aperitif. Or if you just want something a little lighter and lower in alcohol.

Ripe citrus and orchard fruit with a touch of musky melonskin; sherberty, refreshing and technically flawless.

An easy-drinking aperitif, or match with seafood starters.

£9.99 from Majestic; provided for review.
