Terrior
Vinho Verde’s Atlantic-influenced climate, with its cool temperatures and high rainfall, helps retain the natural acidity in the Loureiro grapes. The granitic soils of the Lima Valley contribute a distinct mineral quality to the wine, enhancing the bright, fresh profile typical of the region.

Appearance
Pale lemon with greenish hues, clear and youthful.

Nose
Aromas of citrus blossom, lime, and green apple, layered with floral notes of orange blossom and honeysuckle. Hints of fresh herbs and wet stone add complexity, reflecting the wine’s terroir.

Palate
Light-bodied and crisp, with flavors of lemon, green apple, and pear. The lively acidity gives the wine a refreshing mouthfeel, while a gentle effervescence adds a zesty character. The minerality provides depth, and a touch of salinity reflects the coastal influence of Vinho Verde.

Finish
Clean and brisk, with lingering floral and citrus notes, leaving a refreshing, slightly saline impression on the finish.

Overall Impression
Adega Ponte de Lima Vinho Verde Loureiro is an easy-drinking, aromatic white wine with balanced acidity and a bright, refreshing profile. Its versatility makes it ideal for pairing with seafood, salads, light appetizers, and Asian-inspired dishes, or simply as a refreshing aperitif.
