AVELEDA WINES

Aveleda Fonte

Winery: Aveleda
Aveleda Fonte is a fresh, fruity light wine that offers freshness to the palate and romanticism to the spirit. Its simple label and the deep green bottle reveal what you are about to experience: a vivacious and smooth white Vinho Verde that can be the perfect match for light meals, seafood or served as an appetizer.

The careful temperature control during the winemaking process produces a wine that is slightly citrine in color, clear and bright. It’s a well balanced wine with a fresh and fruity aroma and a soft, silky finish. Ideal as an aperitif, with fish, seafood or salads. Serve between 8 and 10ºC.

Aveleda selected the Loureiro, Trajadura and Arinto grapes from the best vineyards in the region. When the ideal maturation stage is reached, the grapes are brought to Aveleda where they are cooled before being pressed at low pressure. The fermentation, in stainless steel tanks, is carefully controlled at temperatures of 16-18ºC. Finally, the wine is filtered and cold-stabilized before being bottled.

    Just off dry, this is a bright and crisp wine that bounces round the palate. It is summer apéritif time with this vivid, pink grapefruit-flavored wine.
