Artesania Portugal Alvarinho

Vintage: 2022
Country of Origin: Portugal
Appellation: Vinho Verde
Retail Price: $14.99

Tasting Notes: Juicy and fresh. This white wine shows notes of peach, apricot and white blossoms that practically jump out of the glass. The long, lingering finish is brought to life by rich citrus flavors like orange and lemon. A creamier mouthfeel than expected, this would pair well with any seafood dish.

Tasting Notes: From one of the leaders for making super-high-quality wines, in the Vinho Verde region, this is a gorgeous example of what the iconic alvarinho grape variety can provide. Brilliant gold, with green hints, plenty of stone and tropical fruit on the nose and palate. An exceptional match for shellfish, seafood in general, and chicken.
