Region: Adega Cooperativa de Pontay de Lima

Winery Review:  Pale golden silver color. Bright floral aromas of peaches, raspberry and honeysuckle with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a crisp, tart citrus and talc accented finish. A delightful sipper that is sure to please.

Personal Review:  The only part of the winery review I agreed with on this wine was the smell and taste of honeysuckle.  It was a very smooth and light body, almost watered down, and I could also detect the flavor of white grape juice.  While it had a good taste and went down smoothly, I wasn’t overly impressed with the complexity of this wine.
