Description

The 2024 Alvarinho Avesso pulls Alvarinho from stony Monção soils along the Minho for salty snap and Avesso from Baião’s Douro-edge for ripe texture—hand-harvested, skin-soaked briefly, then slow-fermented and lees-aged three months for vibrancy with midpalate heft. Pale with green glints, it layers lemon zest and white peach over flinty florals; the palate drives fresh acidity through stone fruit and seashell into a long, mineral hum. This isn’t entry Vinho Verde: structured for 7–10 years, it’s Atlantic white with Douro polish and Monção cut.

Enjoy with Oysters raw or grilled, ceviche, or light seafood risotto—its acidity cuts richness while fruit bridges herbs and spice.
