Vegetarian, Vegan

“An incredibly approachable and appealing introduction to this indigenous variety (100% Loureiro)”

PRODUCTION

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. TASTING NOTE Ripe citrus and delicately tropical aromas lead onto a textural, mineral palate with bright acidity, mandarin characters and appealing finish.

TASTING NOTE

Caesar or Tuna Nicoise salads, or crab cakes
