Vila Nova Alvarinho (Portugal)

A lively, appealing Alvarinho (AKA Albariño) with delightfully fresh peach and lemon sherbert flavour. This makes the perfect aperitif, or cheeky Saturday lunchtime wine!

Vinho Verde is a region located at Portugal's most Northwesterly point. This climate is cooler and wetter than elsewhere in Portugal, producing refreshing, energetic wines which reflect this terroir. A slight fizzy effervescence is characteristic of the region's white wines, and blending a variety of local grapes is common. The region spans from the Minho river on the Spanish border to the Douro river to the south.

Vila Nova is produced by our good friend Bernard Lencastre - one of the wine world's crazy geniuses!

This wine can be paired with Portugese tinned fish, Caesar or tuna Nicoise salads, or crab cakes.
