Avesso

2009 Vinho Verde Avesso White 100%

The Solar De Pinheiro Avesso is a delightful expression of the unique Avesso varietal, hailing from the celebrated Vinho Verde region. This white wine showcases a brilliantly clear, pale hue, inviting you to savor its refreshing profile. With a medium body, it strikes a harmonious balance between substance and elegance, ensuring a fulfilled sip every time. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the wine's overall vibrancy and making it a fantastic choice for warm weather enjoyment. The fruit intensity is prominent, bringing forth notes of crisp green apple and zesty citrus, which dance gracefully on the palate. This wine is bone dry, allowing the pure essence of the grape to shine through without the interference of residual sweetness. Ideal for pairing with seafood or light salads, the Solar De Pinheiro Avesso truly embodies the sunny essence of its region and vintage.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
