Covela Avesso 2021 Reserve White
A clear golden-yellow colored white wine. The result is a lithe, balanced wine with an elegant, floral and delicate aroma with notes of apple and peach. Being an Avesso, this wine never loses its freshness, intensity and persistence in a very gastronomic profile.
The first Covela wine to be certified as organic, this Avesso Reserva is very special for us at Lima & Smith Lda., firstly because it represents our dream of taking Avesso to a higher level of excellence, and also because it proves Avesso’s ability to produce extraordinary wines. The grapes are harvested by hand from the granite terraces of Covela, overlooking the Douro River at the southeastern end of the Vinho Verde region. Fermentation is spontaneous in French and Austrian oak casks where the wine rests for about six months.
Food-Pairing
This is an ideal wine to pair with plain grilled fish or seafood, and even sushi and sashimi. Its freshness and light hearted character also make it a great wine to accompany starters or to be enjoyed al fresco as an aperitif in the company of family or friends.

Hand-picked plot-by-plot, allowing for the right grapes to be harvested at

Although this wine is made on the banks of the Douro, it is not allowed to carry the name because the domain is just outside the border of the wine region. This white wine is therefore sold under the appellation "Vinho Verde" but the winemakers prefer to talk about "Douro Verde"
