2024 Perola do Lima Vinho Verde

Slurp Wines NR

Perola do Lima is produced in the Vinho Verde region of northwest Portugal, where Atlantic influence and high rainfall create ideal conditions for crisp, refreshing whites. These wines are bottled young to capture maximum freshness and often retain a slight natural spritz from fermentation. Typically a blend of indigenous varieties like Loureiro and Arinto. The 2024 vintage delivers bright, zippy character straight from bottling. Lemon, green apple and white flowers with hints of lime zest. Light bodied with refreshing acidity and a gentle prickle on the tongue. Bone-dry with that characteristic slight fizz that makes Vinho Verde so thirst-quenching. Crisp, uncomplicated and designed for immediate enjoyment. Clean, zesty finish. Serve very cold (6-8°C). Perfect summer drinking or pair with grilled sardines, seafood rice, salads, or works as a refreshing aperitif. This is about freshness and drinkability, not complexity. Best enjoyed within months of purchase while it`s young and lively Recommended by James Davis, Master of Wine: ``Vinho Verde is a delightful and refreshing drink from the North of Portugal. With a delicate touch of fizz and crisp citrus and apple notes. Typically drunk by the Atlantic coast in Portugal in sea facing fish restaurants, accompanied by some simply grilled fish, potatoes and a salad. Perfect!``. ` [Slurp Wines, 05/06/2026]
