Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
Deu-La-Deu is the long-standing Alvarinho of the Adega de Monção cooperative, from the Monção e Melgaço sub-region of Vinho Verde, where the warmer, sheltered valley of the Minho gives Alvarinho more ripeness and weight than elsewhere in the region. Fermented and kept in stainless steel, it shows lime, citrus zest and white peach with a floral lift, a rounder mid-palate than a basic Vinho Verde and a fresh, saline finish. Made to be drunk young, alongside grilled fish and shellfish.
Serving: Serve at 9–11 °C.

Where it comes from
Vinho Verde, Portugal
Vinho Verde comes from the Minho region in the cool, green, rainy north-west of Portugal, and the name means "green wine" in the sense of young and fresh rather than any colour.
Albariño
Albariño is a white grape from the damp, Atlantic-facing corner of northwest Spain, where it is the signature variety of Rías Baixas in Galicia and the source of some of the country's most refreshing whites.
