Gorro is a project dedicated to showcasing the best of Portugal’s Vinho Verde region through single-varietal expressions, and this 2023 Loureiro highlights why the grape is one of the most exciting in northern Portugal. Sourced from cool, Atlantic-influenced vineyards, this wine captures the variety’s signature aromatics and vibrant acidity while maintaining depth and elegance.
Fresh lime, green apple, and white flowers jump from the glass, balanced by a stony, saline edge that reflects the granite-rich soils of the region. The palate is crisp and electric, but unlike some of the more spritzy Vinho Verde wines, Gorro Loureiro focuses on purity and texture rather than effervescence. The finish is long and mineral-driven, making it both refreshing and complex.
Perfect with oysters, grilled sardines, or light summer salads, this is a wine that thrives alongside fresh, simple dishes. Drink now for its lively energy, or let it evolve over the next year for a softer, rounder profile. A must-try for fans of bright, coastal whites.
