Description
A unique varietal from the Alvarinho grape from the Vinho Verde wine region, providing the balance and character of the queen of Portuguese white varieties. The night harvest allows the grapes to keep their freshness and aromatic properties. At the vinification center, the grapes undergo soft pressing at low pressures. The alcoholic fermentation happens in strictly controlled temperatures, followed by aging in stainless steel vats and bottling. Clear appearance, pale lemon-yellow color with golden hints. Aveleda Alvarinho 2022 presents delicate aromas of grapefruit, orange leaf and white flowers. It is a very balanced and elegant white wine, surprisingly structured and velvety, with delicious notes of orange peel, pineapple and orange blossom. This wine presents a good acidity and depth in the mouth.
