Vila Nova Alvarinho 2024

Vila Nova Alvarinho, Vinho Verde, Minho, Portugal, 2024

Grape: 100% Alvarinho, unoaked

Producer Tasting Note:

Bright citrus aromas and a fresh, lively palate with ripe, limey flavours, textural stone fruit and an appealing softness but still the balancing minerality characteristic of this variety. An approachable and fruit-driven style of Alvarinho offering great value compared to its Spanish (Albarino) cousin across the border.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Peach, apple and lime . Good fruit on the palate with a nice length."  International Wine Challenge, 2025

Casa de Vila Nova is located in the sub region of Sousa, the Vinho Verde Demarcated Region in the North of Portugal. The vinho verde lands are exposed to the Atlantic Ocean winds and influence where soils, microclimate, grape varieties and the unique characteristics of the wine culture distinguish it from all other wine regions of the world. The grapes are harvested by hand in 20 kg boxes that are transported quickly to the winery where the grapes are then destemmed, pressed and fermented in temperature controlled vats.

Food Match: A good pairing for chicken salads, fish and sushi, or even Vietnamese meatballs
