Márcio Lopes Pequenos Rebentos Alavarinho 2017
Vinho Verde, Northern Portugal, PortugalA terrific alvarinho from Vinho Verde that is sustainably farmed in granite soils under a cool, Atlantic climate. It is all hand-harvested before a 12-hour maceration without stems, slowly fermented, and aged on its lees with five months of battonage. The acid is bright, the minerality intense, all with a green underbelly. A perfect seafood wine and it is ready to drink.Tasted: 14 October 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:CDN | $31.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
