Profile
Description
Vinho Verde, Portugal's most famous style of white wine, has been undergoing a quiet renaissance. Long thought of as a simple, lightly fizzy wine to be enjoyed poolside or at the beach in large volumes, there's been an undercurrent of producers who have been working tireless to establish the style as a more serious, ageworthy white. One such producer is Ravasquiera, a third-generation, family-owned winery based in Alentejo. Their Altis Vinho Verde is made from a blend of traditional Vinho Verde grapes Loureiro, Arinto, and Trajadoura, but unlike many commercial examples, there's no spritz to the finished wine. Instead, it's completely still and quite complex, dominated by mineral notes and bright citrus aromas. Enjoy this serious (and seriously delicious) white at a well-chilled 6 C over the next two years.
Pairing
Seafood is a natural match, but switch it up and try this with some classic fried chicken or your favourite Thai takeout - this would be perfect with an aromatic green curry!
Aromas and Flavours
Grapefruit
As refreshing as aromas come, the smell of grapefruit is purely invigorating.
Lemon-lime
Common in cool climate white wines, this aroma can range from fresh citrus to lemon zest.
Apple
From Granny Smith to Red Delicious, apple makes for a delightfully crisp aroma.
Stone
Remember playing with pebbles as a child and giving them a lick out of curiosity?
Leaf
When was the last time you raked up all the leaves in your yard and jumped in the pile?
