An incredibly approachable and appealing introduction to this indigenous variety (100% Loureiro).
Casa de Vila Nova is located in the sub region of Sousa, the Vinho Verde Demarcated Region, in the North of Portugal. 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. The grapes are harvested by hand in 20 kg boxes that are quickly transported to the winery where the grapes are destemmed then a soft pressing takes place and fermentation in temperature controlled vats.
Pronounced citrus aromas lead onto a textural, mineral palate with bright pear and lime characters. Long finish with texture and great appeal.
Great with Caesar or Nicoise salads, or crab cakes.
Please note: All case wine orders can take between 7-10 days for delivery.
