Casa de Vila Nova Alvarinho 2019
An aromatic coastal wine with a crisp minerality on the finish
Producer | Casa de Vila Nova
Country of origin | Portugal
Region | Sousa, Vinho Verde
Grape Variety | Alvarinho
A characterful grape with origins from Vinho Verde, the coastal region of North Portugal. Produces Ffloral and fruity stone fruit flavours with a zippy acidity. Pairs well with seafood and mussels
Vintage | 2019
Size | Bottle / 75cl
ABV | 12.50%
Allergens | Sulphites
Style | Fresh & Light
A wine that is light bodied and under 12.5% alcohol with medium to high acidity and delicate primary fruity aromas. Think varietal expression, fruit purity and precision rather than emphasis on wine making i.e battonage, reduction, oak, lees contact. These are refreshing wines with wide appeal. Typical tasting note expressions are ‘crisp’, ‘fresh’, ‘zesty’, ‘cool climate’, ‘purity of fruit’, ‘lean’. In its simplest form a light bodied wine would be equivalent to ‘skimmed’ milk and a full- bodied wine equivalent to blue-top, ‘whole fat’ milk. If your preference is for lighter bodied wines, look out for these grape varieties – young Gruner Veltliner, young Riesling, Pinot Bianco/Blanc, Frappato, unaged Chardonnay, Cinsault (whites), Pinot Noir, Gamay, Kadarka (reds).
