Quinta da Palmirinha Azal White

Quinta da Palmirinha Azal is a Vinho Verde white wine made from Azal, a native grape of the Minho, by Fernando Paiva near Amarante. It is a natural, low-intervention Vinho Verde with real grip and lemony freshness, far from the light, fizzy bottles many people know.

Tasting notes

Azal is a late-ripening grape known for high acidity and citrus notes. Here expect a fresh, sharp profile with a long note of lemon, green apple and a stony finish. The wine ferments with native yeasts in stainless steel and is neither fined nor filtered.

Food pairing

Perfect with grilled white fish, clams à Bulhão Pato, a light summer salad or fried pastéis de bacalhau.

About Quinta da Palmirinha
