A native grape blend of Alvarinho (the Portuguese name for Albarino), Loureiro, and Avesso all sustainably farmed. Alvarinho grown just miles from the Spanish Galician border (and Rias Baixas) brings all those gorgeously enticing bright citrus aromatics. Old vine Loureiro lends minerality, texture and floral notes. Avesso brings the blend together with finesse, balance, and a seamless mouthfeel. Fresh citrus, papaya, delicate floral aromas, and a crisp clean finish that delights as it dances across the palate. And just 11% alcohol, you can happily enjoy a glass at lunchtime! Early evening, golden hour, pour a glass and enjoy as an aperitif with family and friends. Bico revitalizes as a thirst-quencher yet offers enough complexity to hold up to a wide array of cuisine too. It’s perfect with sushi, grilled fish, light salads, cheeses and fresh fruits.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
"Based in the Lima Valley, the Ameal estate specializes in Loureiro. Here that variety is blended with Alvarinho and Avesso to give a wine of great freshness. Swathes of ripe lemon and a flavor that is rich and textured give the wine an immediate drinkability.”
