Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
A pale green-gold shimmers in the glass.
Aroma
The wine displays a refreshing play of aromas featuring floral notes, bright citrus fruits and nuances of bay leaf. A cool, stony minerality lends remarkable balance to the bouquet.
Palate
On the palate, it presents itself dry and wonderfully light at just 10.0% ABV, yet possesses a silky texture and a harmonious medium body. A crisp acidity meets vibrant lime. Unlike many commercial examples from the region, it dispenses with artificial sweetness and convinces with its pure, invigorating flow.
Terroir & Origin
Grown in the rainfall-rich Lima Valley within the Vinho Verde region, which is shaped by an Atlantic climate. On the historic Casal do Paço estate, pioneer Vasco Croft focuses on biodynamic viticulture within a biodiverse landscape of oak and chestnut groves.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Crafted from the indigenous grape variety Loureiro. The grapes are fermented with wild yeasts in a modern cellar and processed without fining to preserve the pure freshness of the variety.
Food Pairings
Excellent with fresh seafood salad, light fish carpaccio, grilled prawns or delicate summer salads with lemon dressing.
Key Features
