Discover the grape variety: Loureiro

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).

The wine region of Vinho Verde

Portuguese star of fresh, slightly sparkling white. High-end Alvarinho in Monção and Melgaço: mineral, precise whites with signature notes of lemon, white peach, flowers and a tense saline finish. Aromatic Loureiro (orange blossom, bay leaf), round Trajadura, full Avesso, lively Arinto. Light natural effervescence, low alcohol (9-11°), sharp vivacity: ideal aperitif and seafood.

Portugal's northernmost region, heart of Atlantic Vinho Verde. Signature lively, lightly sparkling whites with signature notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, fresh herbs and a saline touch, thirst-quenching, low-alcohol palate — the sunshine wine par excellence. High-end star Alvarinho (peach, exotic fruits, minerality), floral Loureiro (laurel), ample Trajadura, taut Arinto, structured Avesso. Vinhão as lively red.
