Meet some of the grape varieties that define Aveleda wines

The diversity of Aveleda White Vinho Verde lies in the grape varieties used. Each one adds a unique character to the wine.

  • Alvarinho: The queen grape of the region. It produces structured wines with tropical notes and excellent acidity. Ideal for food pairings. Try Aveleda Alvarinho.
  • Loureiro: The most expressive variety of the region. Light, floral, with citrus touches. Very refreshing and easy to drink, it is perfect for hot days. Try Aveleda Loureiro.
  • Loureiro & Alvarinho: The region’s iconic blend that brings together the best of both grapes. Aromatic, fresh, and balanced. Try Aveleda Loureiro & Alvarinho.

Serve wine at the ideal temperature

To enjoy the wine at its best, temperature is essential.

  • White Vinho Verde should be served between 8ºC and 10ºC.
  • Above this range, the alcohol becomes more prominent, and freshness is lost.
  • If it is too cold, the aromas are less expressive.

Tip: Place the bottle in the fridge about two hours beforehand and keep it in an ice bucket with water and ice while serving.

Pair white Vinho Verde with summer dishes

The freshness of Aveleda White Vinho Verde makes it an excellent companion for light and seasonal meals.
