    Winemaker Notes

    A clear limpid Vinho Verde wine, with a yellow citrus hue and greenish hints. It has an intense bouquet with floral notes such as orange blossom, acacia and lime, typical of the Loureirovariety, against a background of citrus hints, complemented by mineral notes. Its palate has a lively, fresh attack, with well-balanced acidity, fine body and very fresh and intense citrus notes. It has a long and lingering finish.

    The wine matured for about 3 months in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures and was bottled following fining, tartaric ultra-cooling stabilization and filtration.

    A single-estate wine, Quinta de Azevedo has a seal of guaranteed quality. The winery is also one of the most modern in the region, with infrastructure built to produce the highest quality white wines, and the most up-to-date technology for planting, cultivation, and sustainability.

    The estate of Quinta de Azevedo has one of the most magnificent Portuguese manors dating back to the eleventh century. Located in the Barcelos commune, a top quality area for white wine production, the estate underwent years of meticulous restoration which included the renovation and decoration of the Manor, and the re-planting of native grape varieties (especially Loureiro and Pedernã) across 84 acres (34 hectares).

    The winery is one of the most modern in the Vinho Verde region capable of producing the highest quality white wines and employing the most up-to date technologies for planting, cultivation, and sustainability.

    With hundreds of white grape varieties to choose from, winemakers have the freedom to create a virtually endless assortment of blended white wines. In many European regions, strict laws are in place determining the set of varieties that may be used in white wine blends, but in the New World, experimentation is permitted and encouraged. Blending can be utilized to enhance balance or create complexity, lending different layers of flavors and aromas. For example, a variety that creates a soft and full-bodied white wine blend, like Chardonnay, would do well combined with one that is more fragrant and naturally high in acidity. Sometimes small amounts of a particular variety are added to boost color or aromatics. Blending can take place before or after fermentation, with the latter, more popular option giving more control to the winemaker over the final qualities of the wine.

    A cheerful, translucid, lemon-yellow and slightly pétillant white wine, Vinho Verde literally means ‘green wine’ and is named after the northwest Portugese region from which it originates. The ‘green’ in the name refers to the youthful state in which the wines are customarily released and consumed, not the color of the wine.

    It is typically a blend of various percentages of Alvarinho, Loureiro, Trajadura, and Pedernã (Arinto). Following initial alcoholic fermentation, a natural, secondary malolactic conversion in cask produces carbon dioxide, giving Vinho Verde its charmingly light sparkle.
