2005 Quinta do Ameal Vinito Verde

This wine has been made entirely from the Loureiro grape and is produced in the parish of Ponte de Lima which is said to predate the country itself – Portugal being established in 1143. Bright pale straw colour with water like hue. Top note of spice, followed by a touch of tropical fruit and a hint of lychee. On the palate there is a touch of lemon with a light unripe pineapple twist. Crisp finish. Fresh lemon aftertaste.
