Azevedo Vinho Verde: Crisp Loureiro and Alvarinho

Azevedo Loureiro Alvarinho is a crisp, vibrant Vinho Verde with citrus, green apple and floral aromas. Refreshing and clean, it is the perfect wine for sunny days and seafood.

Quinta de Azevedo is a 35-hectare estate in Barcelos, in the Vinho Verde region of north-west Portugal. It was bought and restored by Sogrape in the 1980s and is still run by them today.

The wine is made from Loureiro and Alvarinho, two of the region’s best white grapes. It is made in temperature-controlled stainless steel with no oak, and bottled under screwcap to keep all its freshness. It is lighter in alcohol than many whites.

Expect delicate citrus, green apple and floral aromas. The palate is dry and refreshing, with lively acidity, little or no spritz and a clean finish.

Azevedo Vinho Verde Food Pairing Suggestion:

Try it with grilled sardines or mackerel, prawns, pasta vongole, dim sum or a chilled gazpacho.
