1st Maria Bonita Loureiro 2018 Sample Tasting
I received this white wine from Vinho Verde in Portugal.
It is made by Mr. Francisco Baptista, who is a friend of Bernardo, the winemaker of Lezirias.
Bernardo came to Japan last month and spent a wonderful time with me
It is made from 100% Loureiro, a local grape in Vinho Verde.
Oh! It is a very tasty white wine!
I like this fresh aroma, nice fruits, fine acidity and sharp minerals.
It is a just my taste.
I am sure again that a good winemaker has good winemaker friends.
I would like to buy this.
So delicious!
