Quinta de Azevedo, located in the heart of Vinho Verde, is known for producing crisp, expressive whites that highlight the aromatic potential of loureiro. The estate benefits from granitic soils and Atlantic‑influenced conditions, which help preserve freshness and linearity.
The Loureiro Escolha 2024 is crafted from carefully selected parcels harvested at optimal ripeness to balance aromatic intensity with natural acidity. Fermentation in stainless steel at low temperatures protects Loureiro's floral and citrus-driven profile, while a short period on fine lees enhances texture and adds subtle complexity. The winemaking approach emphasises purity, resulting in a wine that showcases the variety's delicate perfume, saline edge, and characteristic tension.
Quinta de Azevedo has positioned its Escolha bottling as an elevated expression within the Vinho Verde category, offering precision, length, and a clear articulation of northern Portugal's cool-climate terroir.
