Quinta da Palmirinha Loureiro

For more than 20 years, after retiring from his profession as a history teacher, Fernardo Paiva devoted himself to the small vineyard he inherited near 2000, in the famous Vinho Verde region of Portugal. There he produces sensational white wines, unique, special, which put the region, known for its easy-tasting and mildly sparkling wines, on a different level. The Palmirinha winery's Loureiro is the apotheosis of minerality. From the nose to the palate, a mineral sensation reminiscent of salt and gunpowder-smoked stone permeates you, which is combined with the herbal aromatic sensation of the variety, typical of laurel. Perfectly fresh, with a crisp and pulsating texture on the palate, leading to a long mineral stony finish. A wine more textural than fruity, with depth and length that is surprising considering its alcohol. Such energy only found in white wines from Tenerife.
