Alvarelhão

Alvarelhão is a historic red grape variety, once dominant in the Vinho Verde region and highly valued in Galicia as Brancellao. It is distinguished by its elegant and delicate profile, with a pale color reminiscent of classic light-bodied wines. Floral and small red fruit aromas combine with lively acidity and a hint of white pepper. It is a grape for those seeking freshness and subtlety, often drawing comparisons to the finesse of a cool-climate Pinot Noir.
