Maria Papoila Loureiro Alvarinho 2024

This crisp, lively, unoaked wine comes from vines grown in granitic soils in the verdant northwestern corner of Portugal. It’s quite intense on the nose, with generous tangy citrus and apple, excellent tension and gusto, and a marvellous mineral-laced finish. Pair with seafood or green salads.
