Aphros Loureiro 2014

Vino Verde all grown up! This smells like a tropical vacation. Heaps of different fruits - citrus, stone, melon and tropical all there. Wet stone paired with slight creaminess and traces of vanilla. Palate does not disappoint, bringing lemon curd, green apple, cantaloupe, papaya, all with great texture, M+ acid and zero heat (sitting at a perfect 11.5). Still wine, no fizz like other VVs, but a porch pounder none the less!

One of my favorite wines of the last year! Juicy pear, lemon, a touch of banana and a long saline finish.

Citrus and orchard fruit, then stony minerality, finishing with a acid/saline palate refreshing snap. Simple and refreshing, complex and engaging - your choice.

Tasty and refreshing combination of lime and orange peel on this one. So much citrus zest from nose to finish. 2 months sur lie gives it a very nice mouthfeel and great length. A nice refresher for the summer, and the bright acid makes it great for seafood!
