To keep this Vinho Verde fresh, it is all about cool, stainless steel fermentation. The team at Azevedo has also used the yeast developed specifically for their own Vinho Verde ferment. It is 100% Alvarinho. To add a spicy layer and a silkiness, the wines spent four months on lees in the tank. These lees were stirred regularly to really get the complexity and mouth feel you find in this particular wine. Azevedo Alvarinho is a crisp, fuller bodied, dry white wine. It has around 2 grams/litre of residual sugar. The aromas bounce out of the glass with a creamy undertone immediately detectable with plenty of peach, floral and ginger on offer. In the mouth, the wine is fresh and bright and concentrated. The cream and peach continue well into the next sip.
