Cortes de Cima Lour-inho 2023
Alentejo, Portugal | White Wine | Alvarinho & Loureiro
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Description
A luminous, vibrant white that celebrates the Atlantic freshness of Portugal’s Alentejo coast. The name “Lour-inho” is a playful nod to the singular blend of Loureiro and Alvarinho — two northern varieties that, in the sandy coastal soils of Alentejo, reveal an entirely new expression. Elegant, taut, and pure, this wine offers notes of lime, orange blossom, wet stone, and a distinct saline finish. A sophisticated white with great texture and precision.
