Tasting the 2009. Vasco tells us it's a polemic wine and variety. Should this go under the Vinho Verde wine? Exported to Germany, Japan, and Canada and not to the Portuguese immigrants adds Vasco Croft. Not as bright as other Vinhaos we have tasted.Ripe forest fruits and peepery notes hit the nose immediately. Further nosing reveals tobacco, leather and licorice. Fine and smooth tanins - you would never say this is a Vinhao in a blind wine tasting - resembles more a Cabernet Franc. Fruity too! This would pair nicely with a spicy Indian curry and probably best served slightly chilled. Do try and taste this wine - you won't be disappointed. A snip at 8 Euros retail in Portugal.Remember it's a biodynamic wine!

Quite unusual for a Verde Tinto. Very strong aroma, citric and lots of fresh grape. Quite a nice suprise. That's what I call a "retinto"!
