Description
In a nutshell:
A beautifully aromatic Vinho Verde with citrus and stone fruit flavours and a spritzy finish, from Portugal.
The lowdown:
The winemaker Carlos Moreira had an aim to showcase the emblematic grape varieties of the region and Portugal, so started by selecting the highest quality grapes to create fresh, fruit-driven wines with elegant minerality which also offer excellent value for money. The Loureiro grapes come from the Cavado subregion, the vines are planted on slopes with a double cordon training system. The Alvarinho grapes come from the River Minho Valley, the birthplace of the variety, the vines are planted on the slopes of the left bank of the Minho River. The grapes were hand harvested at optimal ripeness, the Loureiro was destemmed and then both varieties were gentle pressed, then vinified separately. The must was immediately fermented in stainless steel tanks with carefully selected yeast strains. The wine was vinified without oak to retain the purity of the fruit. The resulting wine is aromatic and fresh with vibrant citrus notes and delicate orange blossom. The fruit is underpinned by lively acidity and a mineral edge that leads to a long and elegant finish.
When to drink:
It is great to enjoy by itself, or pair it with salads, sushi and grilled fish.
Suitable for Vegans
