Quinta da Franqueira
Vinho Verde 2006
Proper Vinho Verde from the Minho region of north west Portugal, Franqueira is
a 6ha estate on the site of an old monastery owned by Englishman, Piers Gallie
near Barcelos. It is planted to Loureiro, Trajadura and a small amount of Azal.
The resulting wine shows a lovely refreshing prickle of effervescence making for
superb summer / lunchtime drinking; it is nicely balanced with zippy acidity and
a gentle grapefruit sherbet-like fruit.
