| 75 | | | 91 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Light, crisp, refreshing and slightly sprizty is the nature of Vinho Verde, produced in the largest wine-growing region of Portugal just south of the Minho River, its border with Galicia in northwestern Spain. Very pale straw, a refreshing citrus-rich aroma, and moderate alcohol (11%) are the hallmarks of this example. On the palate, lemon and lime characters are positively mouth puckering. Brisk acidity keeps the palate refreshed, and invigorates the long finish. Grapes: Alvarinho and Treixadura, the classic varieties of this region’s white wines. Serve chilled, 45-50ºF/7-10ºC. Excellent value. Foods: Bacalao (salt cod) fritters (available frozen at Portuguese grocery stores, such as Sabor Portugal on Roswell Rd. in Sandy Springs), simple grilled scallops, fish (halibut), shrimp; chicken quesadilla; chicken-filled empanadas; risotto fritters; unsalted almonds; creamy, rich light cheeses (try Serra d’Estrella)
