Pavao Vinho Verde Tinto NV

Another one from the $100 case.

My notes indicate the I have had
VV whites and rosés, but this is
my first “tinto”.

A bit fizzy (not unusual
for VV).

Very low ALC = 11.5%.

Fruit bomb.

Unexpected full bodied
for a low ALC wine.

Enough “structure” in
the form of acidity and
tannins to keep the wine
from being ridiculous.

I don’t know what you
are SUPPOSED TO do with
this kind of wine.

Sangria comes to mind.

The grapes used in the reds
aren’t household names…

You CAN enjoy this wine
if you are prepared for
something fun and different.

A-N-D…

This looks to be another
“non-vintage” offering from
Portugal.

Seems like they ought to
have at least a “born on”
date or SOMETHING.

Hang in there.
