Your first thought about wine is likely not in terms of thirst quenching, but Vinho Verde often succeeds in being exactly that. This bottling always hits the mark, with nectarine, citrus, tart apple and stony mineral notes ready to tame the heat of the day. Of course a combination of delicious and inexpensive always helps, no? A blend of Loureiro, Alvarinho and Avesso.
