João Portugal Ramos Alvarinho | 2024

An ambassador of lower yields, estate fruit, varietal character, biodiversity, and sustainability, João is an influential figure in the Vinho Verde region. His first vintage of this pure Alvarinho was 2013, and it continues to be a benchmark of the region. With its citrus glow, green tropical fruits, and white flowers, it finds a balance between fruit and austerity. Bone dry but succulent, this is an excellent introduction to high-quality Portuguese Alvarinho. ~Allegra Angelo
