Maria Papoila Loureiro/Alvarinho 2023

Description

This combines the two most important white varieties of Vinho Verde in a classy, lighter weight, very well balanced almost delicate yet fresh white. No barrels here. It is all about generous almost exotic, tropical and floral aromas – banana, greengage plum/olive, waxy lily florality. It is very well balanced, dry and even with a slightly pithy finish. Very good to excellent length. Tasted Nov. 2024. Score – 90. (David Lawrason, winealign.com)
