Grape

Loureiro

Origin
Literally 'green wine' from the Minho region of Northern Portugal. Historically fermented in open stone lagares before being run off into cask and undergoing malolactic fermentation. Fermentation now occurs in vat, retaining the classic spritz or CO2 bubble in the wine.
Taste
Complex aromas of white and tropical fruits, citrus and white flowers. A lively and stimulating wine, with good acidity and well balanced, hints of spritz and bubble, with a concentrated and fresh finish.
Enjoy
At its best now, as a partner to seafood, green salads and pasta.

Press Reviews

  • Excellent, modern vinho verde (2011 Vintage)

    "This excellent, modern vinho verde retains spritzy liveliness but sharpens it up with fresh, green apple and lemon zestiness and flowery aromas. Majestic’s minimum purchase is six mixed bottles, but great value fare like this makes a fortnightly trip preferable to buying indifferent wine weekly. (Brian Elliott, Daily Record, 6th October 2012)"

  • A top candidate for lunchtime sipping with shellfish (2010 Vintage)

    "Serve very cold for this shrill zippy white to show off all its intense citrus buzz. Relatively light in alcohol at just over 10% it’s a top candidate for lunchtime sipping with shellfish. (Olly Smith, The Mail on Sunday, 2nd September 2012)"

  • Always brilliant (2011 Vintage)

    "…always brilliant – in both senses of the word – light white, with its scintillating freshness and verve, is one of the few wines I return to. (David Williams, The Observer, 9th September 2012)"

  • Delightfully citrussy (2010 Vintage)

    "Dry, bright and crisp, this is a modern take on the classic fresh white of northern Portugal. It’s delightfully citrussy with good acidity. (Jamie Goode, The Sunday Express, 24th June 2012)"

  • "Delicious, sparky vinho verde with tongue-tingling floral lemon zest and aniseed spiked fruit: the perfect spring aperitif and fish white."

  • "50% Loureiro 50% Pederna. Fragrant, floral aromas with a very clean and crisp, minerally palate. Awesome value for this zinging fresh summery white with pleasingly low alcohol. Score: 88/100"
