Branco

2012 Vinho Verde Loureiro, Arinto

Vale Do Homem Branco is a delightful white wine from the beautiful Vinho Verde region, renowned for its refreshing and vibrant styles. This 2012 vintage showcases a harmonious blend of Loureiro and Arinto, two varietals that contribute to a lovely balance of crisp, mouthwatering acidity and a bright, lively character. The color is a clear, pale straw, hinting at the freshness within. On the palate, expect an enchanting array of citrus and green apple notes, supported by subtle hints of pear and floral undertones. The body is light yet satisfying, making it an excellent choice for warm days or as a versatile food companion. This wine is bone dry, allowing the true essence of its fruit flavors to shine through with every sip.

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.
