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).
