The wine

Bright yellow, offering exuberant tropical passion fruit and mango.

Loureiro means laurel, for the bay-leaf note in its perfume, and it is the most aromatic of the Vinho Verde varieties. Vinho Verde is the wet, green north-west of Portugal, and the name means green wine in the sense of young rather than coloured. The traditional pergolas trained vines high off the ground to keep grapes away from damp and to leave space for other crops beneath, which is why the region wines were historically thin and sharp.

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.
