Aveleda Loureiro 2019 Parcela Convento

€ 25.70

Very lush aromas of white flowers, passion fruit and citrus fruits. In the mouth it is a very concentrated but soft wine, which reveals notes of flowers, ripe passion fruit, grapefruit and lime peel. A wine that stimulates the senses and has an excellent balance between fruit, minerality and acidity.

In the shadow of the ruins of an old monastery, the Parcela do Convento grows. Unique conditions, such as high altitude, ideal average temperatures and the quality of the soil, bring out an exceptional Loureiro. Small wonders of nature brought us great joy.

A wine that is mixed with the soul of this land. A calling of the earth that made Camilo Castelo Branco and Eça de Queiroz fall in love with the rivers and mountains to create beautiful literature. From Minho to Douro, from the Atlantic Ocean to the mountain range of Gerês and Marão, this region extends over 9 different sub-regions that bring together the ideal conditions to create a wine region that is completely unique and that is conquering the hearts of more and consumers around the world.

2018 was atypical in the Vinho Verde region. A long and dry winter caused a significant delay in the vineyard cycle. This was followed by a rainy spring which caused the development of the vine to happen in adverse conditions. Summer was moderate except for an extreme heat wave in the beginning of August that affected new vines and more exposed parcels in the vineyard. Maturation was slow and the dry harvest period allowed for the grapes to reach optimal levels of maturation and allowed a selective harvest of parcels and grape clusters according to each optimal state of maturation.
