João Portugal Ramos Loureiro Branco

Description

This Loureiro from João Portugal Ramos is a true classic of the Vinho Verde region. Harvested by hand with careful, low-temperature maceration, the must develops a remarkable freshness, bursting with citrus and floral notes. As critics – including Robert Parker with his 88 points – have noted, the pronounced minerality culminates in a long, intense finish. A fantastic pairing would be with freshly grilled fish or, perhaps, a traditional pastel de bacalhau.
