The Wine
From the Lima sub-region, Contacto Loureiro represents balance and harmony. The region’s terroir provides, in addition to its notorious freshness, the aromatic exuberance characteristic of the Loureiro grape variety. Throughout the Lima valley, there are mid-slope vineyards that give the wine an acidity marked by the salinity coming from the Atlantic. In this region we find granite soils and poor organic matter.

Exuberant nose with citrus and floral aromas. Light scent of flowers with white petals such as jasmine. The palate is elegant and light, with a crispy and round acidity. Long and vibrant finish.
