Quinta do ameal Bico amarelo vinho verde 2024
Here's a lovely Vinho Verde from Portugal, made with Loureiro, Alvarinho and Avesso from the 2024 vintage. New to Loureiro? Loureiro is a fragrant Vinho Verde white grape, named for its laurel-like aroma, giving fresh, floral, citrusy wines. There's Alvarinho in the blend too: a premium Portuguese white grape, the star of Vinho Verde, giving aromatic, crisp wines with peach, citrus and a saline freshness. Vinho Verde is meant to be drunk young and fresh — it's light, low in alcohol and often has a tiny, refreshing prickle of fizz. It comes from the lush, rainy northwest, the green corner of Portugal that gives Vinho Verde its name. It's the ultimate chilled-aperitif wine, and a dream with seafood and light summer plates. Chill it down and enjoy.
