Casa de Canhotos Alvarinho White

Casa de Canhotos Alvarinho is a dry Portuguese white wine from the Vinho Verde region, made from 100% Alvarinho grown on the family's own vineyards in the parish of Penso, Melgaço. It is a fuller, more serious side of Vinho Verde, made for the table and for seafood.

Tasting notes

Citrus with a subtle peach aroma, a mineral profile, and a balanced, full palate with a long finish. Recent vintages sit at about 13% alcohol, more body than a light Vinho Verde.

Food pairing

Pour it with grilled prawns, arroz de marisco, oysters, grilled octopus, or a lemony sea bass.

About Casa de Canhotos

The estate takes its name from a historic house in Canhotos, in Penso, where a favourable microclimate led to planting Alvarinho. Fernando Rodrigues launched the Casa de Canhotos Alvarinho label in 2006, using only grapes from his own vineyards.
