Tasting - "Encostas do Lima"

Name: Encostas do Lima
Variety: 80% Loureiro and 20% Trajadura
Region: Ponte de Lima (Vinho Verde)
Country: Portugal
Year:2010
Price: $4.95
Shop/wine critic/winery review: Pale golden silver color. Bright floral aromas of peaches, raspberry and honeysuckle with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a crisp, tart citrus and talc accented finish. A delightful sipper that is
sure to please.
Your review: I thought this wine was very tart. It had a light coloring with a strong smell. This is the very first wine I've ever had at a tasting and compared to the sweet, white wines I'm used to I was very surprised. I really wasn't a big fan of this wine, but I wonder if having food with it would have changed how it tasted.
Did not have food with the wine
