Loureiro 'Gorro', Portugal Boutique Winery, Lima Valley, Portugal 2020

Minimal intervention – indigenous grape varieties

Portugal Boutique Winery

The Portugal Boutique Winery was founded only a couple of years ago by childhood friends Nuno Aguiar de Morais Vaz and António Olazabal Ferreira.

Their philosophy revolves around minimal intervention, allowing the grape variety and terroir to speak for themselves. By respecting this philosophy, each wine they produce tells a unique story and possesses a true sense of place. At present they work with a number of small, artisan growers specialising in the production of rare, indigenous grape varieties.

From the Lima Valley, their Loureiro ‘Gorro' is very much an example of a super-charged Vinho Verde! Expect bright, fresh and crisp flavours with mouth-wateringly refreshing acidity. The palate features notes of green pear, white peach and quince with an incredible saline, mineral core. There is no question that the ultimate pairing here is definitely some fresh seafood!
