April’s wine is the 2014 Quinta de Soalheiro Alvarinho, Vinho Verde, Portugal (€8,85 from www.fernandoswinehouse.pt).

Decanter magazine says:

“Star buy of 2015. Clean, expressive apricot and peach aromas. Very aromatic and classic with a broad, full, herbal palate and a rounded finish. A solid Alvarinho. Complex pithy orange, honeysuckle, silky peach, savoury lees and nutty nougat; dancing acidity and minerality dominate a long finish.” 95/100
