WineScores' Review

Crisp, herbal, tart.
A blend of two traditional Portuguese varieties, Siria and Arinto with Viognier, this wine is named for the Portuguese celebration of music, wine and life.
It's quite a tart wine; aromas of crisp white fruits and tangy citrus, straw flowers, peach stone and bitter greens lead to a palate that is crunchy and herbal with angular lemony flavours. It's a food wine with hints of umami that will pair with white meats, fish and vinaigrette. The finish is short.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
