11% A blend of Loureiro and Pedernã, with Loureiro dominant. Again a delicate, elegant floral nose, but this one's really rather unusual with scents of green peas and sweet peas. This is more complex on the palate than the straight loureiro. This is the most complex of all the vinhos verdes that were being presented by the Comissão de Viticultura da Região dos Vinhos Verdes. Quite broad and full with lots of interest. Good depth and light structure. Very full flavours, slightly Pledge-y, slightly confected pear drop flavours. But in this wine they work and don't jar. Very Good Indeed.

Slight fiz. Crisp. Light. Agreeable. Feels kind of special while still affordable. Good wedding wine or large summer party wine.

Lightly gaseuse. Light and pleasant. True to type and nice patio drinking.
