Vinho Verde Loureiro 2021 - Quinta da Palmirinha

Vinho Verde Loureiro - Quinta da Palmirinha

The Vinho Verde Loureiro of Quinta da Palmirinha is a white wine produced from Loureiro grapes, a white grape variety very common in the area. Quinta da Palmirinha is a reality led by Fernando Paiva, a retired professor of history, who was one of the pioneers of Portuguese biodynamics. Vinification is spontaneous with only indigenous yeasts and is aged for just under a year in steel tanks only. The Vinho Verde Loureiro is straw-yellow in color. The nose is very mineral, aromatic and fruity. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with excellent acidity, and a deadly drink that invites you to return to the glass continuously.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but left in the cellar for a few years can give great emotions.

Pairing

It goes perfectly with vegetable first courses, fish-based main courses, to try with a rabbit terrine.
