Vila Nova Loureiro
£11.31
Casa de Vila Nova is owned by the Lencastre family, of aristocratic Portuguese lineage. This land has been in their family since the 12th century, and in 2008 Bernardo Lencastre and his brothers took over the running of the property, revitalised the vineyards and began making vinho verde and bottling their own wines - the first generation to do so. Here, in the Entre-Douro-e-Minho sub-region of Sousa, their vineyards are influenced by winds from the Atlantic Ocean - creating the perfect climate to ripen varieties such as Avesso, Loureiro and Alvarinho.
The vinho verde lands are exposed to the Atlantic Ocean winds and influence. Soils, microclimate, grape varieties and the unique characteristics of the wine culture, distinguish it from all other wine regions of the world. This wine is crafted from the Loureiro grape variety, indigenous to this region. Ripe citrus and delicately tropical aromas lead onto a textural, mineral palate with bright acidity, mandarin characters and appealing finish. Pair with Caesar or Tuna Nicoise salads, or crab cakes.
Tasting Note:
