When strolling around the supermarket shelves in mainland Portugal - the Madeira and Azores islands supermarkets and respective wines must be left to another post when I've got the opportunity to visit them again - one can notice that from each supermarket chain to another there are some household wine names that immediately strike the pattern of the low cost - and sometimes low quality - wine.
The Vinha do Marco is one of those wine brands known for its not so good quality, among others that are going to subject of analysis by this blog.
This Vinha do Marco presents itself with a light citrus yellow color - a little touch of gold here and there - resembling a diluted watercolor. In the nose, as it gets warmer, good floral, lemony and voluptuous tropical fruit aromas mixed with fresh melon scents. In the mouth its very fresh, average balance, where one can notice some light tropical fruit but the resilient acidity in the final part of the tasting does not help to get it up a notch and therefore one cannot expect too much from this wine from such low price it bears in the label.
Although it deserves a 8.5 and one can say it is almost a zurrapa. Saved by the smell... lost by the acidity.
