Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: light-bodied, high acidity, dry
A crisp, light-bodied white built around fresh citrus and green apple fruit, with a subtle floral lift and a mineral, almost saline finish. The high acidity gives it a lively, refreshing character that suits simple, casual drinking, especially with seafood. It shows more texture and body than many Vinho Verde blends, reflecting the Avesso grape's slightly riper, rounder profile.
