Discover the best wines made with Loureiro as a single variety or as a blend of Monterrei.
Lively, highly aromatic whites with tonic acidity and a slender mouth, featuring intense aromas of white flowers (bay, acacia, orange blossom), citrus, white peach, white flesh fruits and Atlantic saline notes. Fresh, refreshing finish. Star of Vinho Verde DOC from Minho (Portugal) in blends with Alvarinho and Trajadura, and signature of Rías Baixas DO in Galicia. Native grape of the northwest Iberian peninsula, its name evokes the bay laurel (loureiro).
Galician DO south-east of Ourense on the Portuguese border, micro-climate blending continental and Atlantic. Godello is the signature white king: structured and taut with green apple, pear, citrus, white flowers, honey, almond and a mineral touch, ample and long palate — one of the greatest Galician whites. Floral Treixadura, lively Doña Blanca. Mencía is the flagship red: juicy and fresh (raspberry, cherry, violet, pepper, graphite), fine tannins.
