Natalie's Score: 91/100

Aromas of lime and white grapefruit. This zesty northern Portuguese white wine is a Colheita Selecionada or a single vineyard special selection wine from the winery's estate vineyards and made from the mouth-watering white grape Alvarinho in the Minho region of northern Portugal. Medium-bodied with good viscosity. Terrific racy acidity for fresh seafood and shellfish.

Alvarinho food pairings: fresh steamed shellfish, grilled sardines, fish tacos.

Reviews and Ratings

Produced by Aveleda, this dry and vibrant, medium-bodied Alvarinho is a great value under $16. This zesty northern Portuguese white wine is a Colheita Selecionada or a single vineyard special selection wine from the winery's estate vineyards. Chill and pair with soft, creamy cheeses. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
