Quinta Da Aveleda Loureiro Alvarinho

Layers of citrus and tropical fruit

Snap peas, cooked rice, pineapple, pork belly, floral, mineral on the nose. Medium body, medium acidity, mineral, not high in alc. lime, hint of kiwi in the mouth.

light, crisp and medium acid, slightly tart. perfect for the first drink of the night or for summer days

Classy yet meh label. Perfect color. Hint of gold and a silvery shimmering edge. Smells the part, like citrus water. Or a lemon next to a creek. Whiff of the tropics. Clean and easy flavors. Pears meet lychee. Barely enough acid to hold things together. This is for folks that like a bit of body with the Vinho Verde.

Dry start, sweet/tart finish. Easy to drink, no acidic aftertaste.

Very sparse and lacking depth or complexity, though showing fresh acidity. Classic vino verde profile.

Fresh, clean, limey, crisp. Warm day? Drink this.

Excellent and cheap green wine.

Pairs well with salmon.

A serviceable vinho verde from Portugal. Clear lemony yellow colour with a soft light nose of lime citrus, melon and an underlying wet stone.

It’s dry, high acid for sure, low/med alcohol but fresh, pronounced fruit intensity that follows the nose plus a little green apple tartness. The finish is a bit medium minus.

It’s a good wine. Wants oysters, seafood, sea and sunshine - typical Portugal 🇵🇹
