• Yellow color with green hints.  Expressive wine, fresh, very aromatic.  This Sauvignon Blanc displays grapefruit flavors, with hints of melon and honey.  It finishes with bracing acidity and fresh mouth feels that make it a terrific aperitif and an excellent accompaniment to virtually all seafood, especially shellfish.
• First thing I noticed when tasting this wine is that there was a stronger bite to it.  Like a little kick, which I liked, it also was not as dry as the previous wine.  The wine smelled very strong, I didn't have to focus to get the smell, it went straight up my nostrils as soon as I put my nose to the glass.  Overall, a good wine but I liked the Encostas do Lima a little better.
• No food served with this wine.
