  1. From granitic soil at 250 meters, this was a good pairing for 100F heat. This is usually a steelier wine than their Classic brand, but in vintage 2017, maybe it too is a bit riper. A little! It's still focused, dry and crisp.

    The winery's products always age, so no surprise there (but "Granit" is not as old as a brand). Still in perfect shape, it adds tasty fruit. Hard to go wrong here.

    13% alc. Mid-$20s these days.

  6. Summer is waning, but I still have some time for Vinho Verde! I'm burning through a stash of these 2015s, an iconic brand in Vinho Verde. Let's have another!

    Holding beautifully, it's barely middle-aged, even at age 10. The vibrant acidity supports maturing but still prime-time fruit. It's quite tasty, on track to hold well until I have none left. It's a bright, nicely constructed Alvarinho from a vintage I loved. Around $20 these days, 12.5% alcohol.

  8. 3/3

    🎺🎺 2015 is my winner today, but that has always been one of my very favorite vintages for this. The 2017 and 2024 are very fine. All will age. Today, '17 over '24 but that answer could change. You can certainly drink the '24 today! It's not a tannic Barolo. 😜 But you'll likely be happier in a 3 years or more.

    $20, dry, both around 12.5%. NO FIZZ

  10. I've a few left, but happy to say, no rush! Under $20 then, a bit more now.

    My sequel post with the '17, '24 soon.

    BTW, the "Classico," as it is called, is unoaked, fruitier than others, plenty of quantity. It maintains crispness and quality. That name is not on the label, it's just the casual reference for the traditional flagship.

  12. @tofu SOoooo perfect for a hot day, so refreshing....Open this one on the docks and sip the day away! #wine #alvarinho #portugal #vinhoverde

  13. Summer heat and 2015 Alvarinho! It's bright and tight with a nuanced finish. It's developed with a stonewashed demeanor, and a hint of lemon and flint. This is more structure than fruit-oriented. It's a summer refresher with time left. $20, 12.5% #wine #portugal #vinhoverde #alvarinho

  15. #Tuesday #dinner Braised chicken thighs in a white wine sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, asparagus, red onions, raisins, parsley & Lebanese 7 spice served over quinoa (I wanted to do Cous Cous but cupboard was bare🤷‍♂️).

    Wine pairing is an #alvarinho #vinhoverde offering white peach, pear, lemon, mint and sea shell notes.
    😋😋😋
