Nortico Alvarinho is a superb example of the grape's hallmark traits: fresh citrus, peach and tropical fruit aromas paired with clean, juicy fruit and vibrant minerality. This wine is young and fresh with the characteristic bright acidity and aromas of peach and grapefruit. Nortico is lovely on its own or have it simply with corn bread and butter like country folks do in Portugal. This is also a terrific seafood wine, particularly with salty, fattier dishes like fish tacos or broiled oysters.

Fresh and bright, with lively lemon peel, thyme and verbena notes laced up with a quinine thread. A very light touch of effervescence on the finish adds to the freshness. Drink now. 15,000 cases made, 9,000 cases imported.

This rich, full-bodied wine offers ripe apple flavors and hints of white peach. Touches of minerality and salinity give the wine a fine bite that will allow it to age a few months. Drink from 2022.
