Azal

About this grape variety

A traditional Vinho Verde white grape grown in the more inland sub-regions of Basto and Sousa, Azal contributes a sharp, green-apple-and-citrus profile to Minho blends. The variety holds onto its acidity well even when ripening late, making it useful in warmer years. Rarely bottled solo, but a key supporting voice in classic Vinho Verde.
