Quinta de Ventozelo Viosinho 2018 - Douro DOC; 13,5% abv; 100% Viosinho; c.15€
Viosinho is a supposedly high-acid white grape used in e.g. white Port to bring structure. This, however, is a dry white. It has pretty neutral aromas: melon and citrus. Rich and broad on the palate, decent acidity but certainly doesn't seem high to me. I'm probably spoiled by too much cool climate stuff so maybe this is actually high acidity for such a warm region white. It's balanced but neutral, but it's not as interestingly neutral as, say, Muscadet. Perfectly enjoyable, balanced, fun even. Buy again? Probably not. At 15€ there are more interesting wines in the moderately acidic and neutral style that I think are more fun. But it is always interesting to try new grape varieties.
