The Story
Quinta d'Amarés sits in the heart of the Vinho Verde region in northwest Portugal, where Atlantic influence is everything. Loureiro is one of the standout grapes here - naturally aromatic, fresh and expressive. This style is all about purity and drinkability: early-picked fruit, gentle winemaking and a light touch to preserve those bright citrus and floral notes. The slight natural spritz is traditional and intentional, making it one of the most refreshing wine styles out there.
