Of bright clear appearance bathed in light yellow shades. Aveleda Alvarinho combines the rich and velvety structure typical of the variety with the minerality and primary fruit aromas typical of the Sousa sub-region. Each terroir brings a wonderful aspect to the wine, making it extremely balanced and a one-of-a-kind feast of tropical fruit and earthbound flavours.
Tasting Notes
Pale yellow with hints of gold. Discreet aromas of grapefruit, white peaches and white flowers. On the palate this wine is incredibly structured and smooth, revealing more prominent notes of orange zest, pinaple and orange blossom.
