If you're looking for an exciting new take on good dry white wine, here it is... Portuguese Alvarinho. Dry, crisp and super refreshing, it's made from the Alvarinho grape, also known as Albarino in Spain and a grape well known for growing in maritime climates, such as northern Portugal.
The hallmark of Alvarinho is its high acidity, which provides this wine with its innate and deliciously succulent freshness - something this tasty little white has in spades. It's medium bodied and totally dry with great character.
Portuguese wines are on trend globally, thanks to the discovery of the country's vast range of interesting indigenous grape varieties, mostly red but with increasing volumes of great whites too, such as this wine, which is produced by Casa Santos Lima.
This large family owned winery makes a vast range of wines in Portugal and we stock a fascinating and delicious selection here at The Hamilton Beer & Wine Co.
