About this product
Quinta de Gomariz's Vinho Verde Loureiro from the Lima subzone is one of Portugal's most refreshing and aromatics-driven white wines: white blossom, lime zest, peach, and a granite mineral freshness unique to the Lima's granitic soils. The wine's natural acidity and vibrant aromatics make it one of the world's great seafood and aperitif wines. Drink within 2-3 years for maximum aromatic expression.
