WINE DESCRIPTION

Aveleda Minho Alvarinho is a premium white wine produced by Aveleda, a renowned Portuguese winery with a history dating back to 1870. This wine comes from the Minho region, which is known for its unique microclimate and soil that are ideal for growing Alvarinho grapes. The vineyards are located near the Atlantic Ocean, which provides a cooling effect and helps to preserve the wine's freshness and acidity. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's natural aromas and flavors. The resulting wine is crisp, elegant, and refreshing, with notes of citrus, tropical fruits, and a hint of minerality. It is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light dishes.

Vinho Verde is a light, refreshing wine from Portugal's northwest region. It is made from a variety of grapes, including Loureiro, Trajadura, and Alvarinho, and is known for its low alcohol content and zesty acidity. This unique wine has a long history in Portugal, and is now enjoyed around the world. Vinho Verde has been produced in Portugal since the 12th century. It was originally made from a blend of local grapes, and was known for its light, refreshing taste. In the 19th century, the region began to specialize in white wines, and the Vinho Verde style was born. The name "Vinho Verde" literally translates to "green wine," and refers to the fact that the wine is meant to be enjoyed young.
