Quinta da Alorna Verdelho 2009

15.0 / 20
Producer: Quinta da Alorna
Region: Tejo
Country: Portugal







Very lightly colored, this Verdelho has some nice tropical fruits - bananas - aromas, along with more flowery impressions. Exuberant without falling into excesses.


In the mouth, a light bodied wine, delicate yet balanced. Very fruit-driven, it provides a pleasant enough taste. For me, I think the acidity is a bit too low and a little more freshness would help it become an even more balanced wine. Also, at 13º, I think the alcohol is a bit too much for the wine's light structure, although it is quite well integrated.


A good choice for a relaxed setting, a party or a summer afternoon.
