Quinta de Azevedo Loureiro/Alvarinho from Vinho Verde DOC, Portugal, is a vibrant white (blanco) still wine. This dry blend of Loureiro and Alvarinho grapes offers a crisp and refreshing experience. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures and aged on its lees for three months, it retains natural freshness and aromatics. The nose is vibrant with notes of citrus, bright nectarine, lime blossom, and fresh mango, while the palate is crisp with well-integrated acidity and rich tropical fruit flavours leading to a long finish. This versatile wine is vegan and vegetarian, pairing beautifully with lean fish, shellfish, and poultry.

75.0CL , 12.0% ABV

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were gently destemmed and cooled. This was followed by gentle pressing at low temperatures to preserve the aromatics and ensure maximum freshness. The must was transferred to stainless steel vats for fermentation at controlled temperatures of 14-15°C. A portion of the fruit underwent a pre-fermentation maceration for up to two days at low temperatures to extract the maximum aromatics before pressing. The wine was aged on its lees for three months in stainless steel tanks with regular lees stirring prior to bottling.

This wine offers a vibrant and intense aromatic profile of citrus, nectarine, lime blossom, and fresh mango. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing with well-integrated acidity, showcasing rich tropical fruit flavours that lead to a long, lingering finish.
