Quinta de Azevedo Vinho Verde 2007

The underrated aromatic Portuguese grape Loureiro is sourced from the Vino Verde region north of the Douro. Not to be associated with cheap Vinho Verde?s of twenty years ago, this high quality single estate wine has a grassy, lemony aroma and a clean, crisp yet concentrated finish.

Origin:: Portugal

Closure:: Synthetic Cork

Style:: Delicate whites

ABV:: 11.5%

"Vinho Verde is almost terminally untrendy because of its naff 1970s associations. Carefully chosen however it can offer real pleasure and a point of difference from most white wines around now. Firstly it's low in alcohol (only 11.5% in this case) with a spritz and crisp acidity which keep it fresh and briliantly complement the sort of light summer food the long summer (!) will demand."

"No compromises here: this is a lively spritz, keen acidity, refreshing cut grass, citrus and green apple flavours. This is my favourite vinho verde: it ticks all the boxes and comes in on budget."
