Quinta de Azevedo

Quinta de Azevedo is one of the most beautiful and celebrated estates in Vinho Verde, its seventeenth-century manor house and vineyards a landmark of Portugal verdant northwest. Part of the Sogrape family, it has long set the standard for the region fresh, aromatic whites. The vineyards lie in the Cavado valley, where granite soils and a cool, damp Atlantic climate give the wines their signature freshness, delicate spritz and vivid aromatics. Loureiro and Alvarinho are the stars, farmed and vinified with precision. The range spans the classic, thirst-quenching Vinho Verde, varietal Alvarinho and Loureiro Escolha bottlings, and the ambitious Torre and Honra cuvees that show just how serious and age-worthy the region can be. Fresh, fragrant and impeccably made, Quinta de Azevedo captures the joy of Vinho Verde while proving its potential for real depth and class.
