Adega Coop Ponte da Barca Grande Escolha 2021
Vinho Verde, Northern Portugal, PortugalThe Adega Cooperativa de Ponte da Barca began in 1968, and today farms 850ha from 1100 members, mainly located in the valleys of Lima and Vez Rivers. This label features the naperão, the embroidered lace table mat popular in the 60s and 70s. The Grande Escolha (term referencing Grand Selection but without any real meaning) blends loureiro, trajadura, and arinto, with a purposeful light spritz. Melon, yellow apple, and gooseberry ride the short, light, snappy palate—a modern version of a classic VV style, ready to drink this summer with veg dishes.Tasted: 11 June 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices: Producer: Adega Coop Ponte da BarcaBlend: Loureiro - Arinto - Trajadura
