2020 A&D Wines LIV Branco BIO

A&D Wines was named the most revolutionary wine producer by Portugal's leading wine magazine VINHO last year for their innovative Vinho Verde. A&D are Alexandre & Dialina Gomas, technical engineers with a great love for wine. You can immediately see that technical precision in the extremely healthy vineyards and very clean winery in the renovated Quinta de Santa Teresa. The wines are made from native varieties such as Avesso, Arinto and Malvasia Fina, with minimal intervention. Result: incredibly pure wines with a lot of grape authenticity, expression and freshness.

Originating from the Vinho Verde sub-region of Baião, right against the Douro area. In this warmer microclimate, the grapes acquire a particularly aromatic concentration for Vinho Verde. The grapes are picked and selected by hand. The grapes are destemmed. The fermentation takes place at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks, partly with skin contact. During the process as little intervention as possible is made to get the most direct translation of the grape, the vineyard and the climate. In the glass, the A&D LIV is fresh lemon yellow with the nose being elegant and aromatic with notes of citrus, apricot and tropical fruit. In the mouth the wine is light and fruity (citrus and tropical fruit), lively and with fresh acidity. Delicious with a 'panzanella': a summer bread salad made from stale bread, tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar.
