Gazela Vinho Verde NV

Sparkling effervescent lightly golden hue on the first pour, with aromas of limes with sweet touch of vanilla.

Palate--Lively pin prick bubbles with fresh, limeade on a dancing platform. Gives an off dry but mostly dry front palate.  Quite tasty.

This is a simple, but fun Portuguese Vinho Verde with a decent sense of acidity which will make it go well with any number of lighter fare and cheeses. Tonight I will pair it with my wife's cream of asparagus soup.  We'll see how it works--or doesn't. Asparagus is one of the more challenging foods to pair with wine but nothing ventured. nothing gained!  

At $8 for this quaff, raise a glass!
