Loureiro, Vinho Verde, Portugal
Like the age old call and answer, “Do you feel bonita?”, to which the response can only be, “I feel bonita”, followed undoubtably by, “WONDERFUL, because you LOOK BONITA!”. Portuguese oenologist Francisco Baptista has nearly three decades in the wondrous world of wine, and truly delivers with this crisp & coastal cutie patootie. The stunning terroir is akin to a roman amphitheatre, the ocean its stage. Planted in granite soil, with great youthful influence brought by the Atlantic Ocean. Ripe green apple, citrus sparklers, poached pear, honey + comb, mango in the grass & a spoonful of salt. Enjoy with popeyes popcorn shrimp & tartar sauce.
