Aphros Loureiro “Ten” 2025 750ml

Loureiro is a white grape variety native to Portugal, particularly associated with the Vinho Verde region in the northwest. It produces wines that are aromatic, light-bodied, and known for their fresh acidity. Loureiro wines typically exhibit vibrant flavors of citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, along with floral notes of orange blossom and acacia. They are often unoaked to preserve their delicate aromas and crisp, mineral-driven character. What makes Loureiro unique is its contribution to Vinho Verde wines, where it is blended with other local varieties like Alvarinho to create refreshing and slightly effervescent white wines. Loureiro's ability to retain acidity in the region's maritime climate ensures wines that are lively and balanced, perfect for pairing with seafood, salads, and light appetizers. Loureiro offers a taste of Portugal's coastal charm and winemaking tradition, reflecting the unique terroir of the Vinho Verde DOC.
