Why You'll Love It This is Vinho Verde with real character—exuberant and fresh with good body and vibrant acidity that makes it incredibly versatile. By sourcing each variety from its ideal sub-region within Vinho Verde, Quinta do Ameal creates a wine that truly represents the diversity and quality of this historic region. With 3 months on lees for added richness and a drinking window through 2028, this offers exceptional quality and value for a thoughtfully crafted Portuguese white. Vineyard & Production Representing the diversity of the Vinho Verde region, with Loureiro sourced from the Lima river sub-region, Alvarinho from Monção and Melgaço, and Avesso from Baião. Grapes are manually harvested and whole-cluster pressed pneumatically. The must undergoes cold decanting for 24 hours before fermentation at controlled temperatures (10-15°C) for 12-15 days. The wine remains in contact with lees for about 3 months in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature, adding richness and complexity. Tasting Notes Exuberant aromas that are fresh and light, dominated by citrus fruits and tropical notes. The palate is driven by fresh acidity with good body and a lingering finish. Crisp, refreshing, and beautifully balanced with vibrant fruit character. Perfect Pairings Perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood dishes, salted cod Portuguese specialities, grilled fish, shellfish, sushi, light salads, or Asian cuisine. Also excellent with goat cheese or simply enjoyed on a warm day. Grape Variety 60% Loureiro, 20% Alvarinho, 20% Avesso Esporao Wine
