Aphros Loureiro 2018
Vinho Verde, Northern Portugal, PortugalVasco Croft is one of the pioneering biodynamic vintners in Portugal, and Aphros is his personal project. From Vinho Verde's Lima subregion, this loureiro spent time on skins before pressing into inox for fermentation and two months aging on lees prior to filtration and bottling. The richness of heady and lush blossoms, ripe honeydew, musk melon, is cut with the riff of lime pith, greengage, and worn granite. This hums along the palate with a buzz of minerality, which remains on the citrus drenched finish. Quite a lot of impact and volume in a wine that clocks in at 11.5 degrees.Tasted: 07 August 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $22.95 | 750ml | consignment |
