Far from the low-alcohol, highly carbonated, and slightly sweet commercial examples often associated with the region, this 12.5% ABV bottling delivers a completely dry, structurally sound profile driven by a masterclass blend of \u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003e85% Alvarinho and 15% Trajadura\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. Shifting the focus away from injection-carbonated fizz, it relies on a very subtle, integrated needle-prick of effervescence that elevates its texturally complex, medium-bodied weight. The 2020 vintage captures a pristine snapshot of the subregion's unique microclimate—where Atlantic influences meet continental protection—resulting in an \u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003e89-point Wine Enthusiast\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e rated wine that emphasizes varietal purity over cheap tricks.\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBBAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBRAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" aria-owns=\"action-menu-parent-container\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003eOn the palate, this wine is a playground for terroir geeks, offering a sharp, \u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003elinear, high-acid skeleton\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e that effortlessly supports its phenolic weight. Lush orchard and stone fruits—predominantly underripe peach, apricot, and green apple—are juxtaposed against a intensely distinct \u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eflinty, crushed-stone minerality\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e and sharp citrus zest. Trajadura fills out the mid-palate with soft white floral notes, while the dominant Alvarinho drives a long, laser-focused, sapid finish that begs for high-acid food pairings like raw oysters, crudo, or razor clams. It is an authentic, highly serious expression of Minho viticulture that over-delivers on structural complexity, making it a perfect recommendation for clients who appreciate transparency, tension, and immense value in their glass.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grape Expectations","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45152423182543,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/3021\/4607\/files\/TempPicComingSoon_d4dc5851-78ea-4249-82f0-3907dd6971c5.jpg?v=1780517945","url":"https:\/\/florwines.com\/products\/vv","provider":"Flor Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
