White Wine

Maria Papoila Loureiro Alvarinho 2022, Vinho Verde D.O.C., Portugal: From the Vinho Verde wine region, Maria Papoila 2022 is a dry, medium-bodied and zesty Loureiro and Alvarinho white wine blend and great value at $19. The wine is vibrant, youthful, lithe and spritzy with crunchy green apple, apricot, minerally and lemon-lime zesty flavours tangy on the palate. Grapes for this vintage were sourced from vines grown in granitic soils in the rather rainy northwestern corner of Portugal. Chill and enjoy it with seafood dishes. Loureiro Alvarinho food pairings: grilled shellfish, pan-fried fish, salads, calamari, grilled seafood, pasta Primavera. Drink: 2023 - 2027 408146 11.5% D 750 mL $17.95 Score: 88/100. November 2023. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
