Vinho Verde is usually a blend of grapes that’s built for pure refreshment, but this 100% Loureiro kicks things up significantly over the usual suspects. Fresh, floral and fruity on the nose, it delivers dry, zesty style in the mouth with an emphasis on nectarine and tart lemon that has substantial finishing power. A plate of oysters will make this sing even louder. Commence salivation!
