Vinho Verde is the wine region of the northwestern tip of Portugal, where refreshingly lively white wines are produced thanks to the ‘air conditioning’ effect of the Atlantic Ocean. The Loureiro grapes are grown on Dócil granite – alongside Alvarinho, Loureiro is the leading variety in the wine region. It was spontaneously fermented in steel tanks, then it spent five months on fine lees, without malolactic fermentation. Distinctive, invitingly fruity and minerally cool at the same time. Lime, green apple, white flower aromas, which are accompanied by a definite saltiness on the palate. Despite the freshness, the palate is compact, full and round. An exciting yet easy-to-love wine.
