If you're looking for an enjoyable, refreshing wine for sipping on the back deck, or pairing with a light meal, then you have to try Lagosta Vinho Verde ($8) from Portgual. Made from 20% Arinto, 30% Trajadura, 30% Loureiro, and 20% Azal (varietals traditionally used in Vinho Verde and indigenous to Portugal) this Vinho Verde has the most flavor of any Vinho Verde I've ever tasted. Light body and frizzante, the flavor is mild green apple and (what I though was) a hint of citrus on my palate. This is the perfect summer wine. Enjoy!Winemaker's Notes: Lagosta Vinho Verde has the highest level of CO2 permitted for a Vinho Verde, maintains the natural flavors and aromas of green apples, pears and flowers, as well as preserving its natural acidity. Pairs well with pasta, salads, fish or on its own.
