Ciconia Vinho Verde DOC 86 Points



This is the second Vinho Verde available at Checkers, less than R 40 per bottle, slightly fuller in style with a perfume and delicately ripe pears note, lychees, fleshy melon and slight hints of talc powder/white roses! The alcohol is marginally more than the Lagosta at 10.5% abv, yet low still by any South African standards.

Flavourful and dry with possibly a dash of residual sugar, round and fresh, lively with some co2, juicy and delicate, great aperitif.

Available at Checkers Hyper Fourways
