Aríos Aguafuerte Trajadura
2018, Vinho Verde, Portugal
Vinho Verde is a wine region in Portugal primarily known for its whites. This particular white is made from the Trajadura grape that is commonly found in Vinho Verde wines. Although the grape has traditionally been used for blending, it’s becoming more common to see it as a single varietal wine. With its high alcohol content, low acidity and crisp citrus notes, Trajadura makes a great team player in blends which this bottle is a great example of!
This wine is tangy and soft on the palate. It lends its round body to a warmth that coats the back of your mouth and makes your insides feel tingly and warm like they are lined with a layer of satin. Clean, with a baby touch of baking spice: nutmeg, clove, cinnamon. The palate is also greeted with notes of candied ginger and sunny spring morning sunbeams.
