Cortes de Cima – Lour-inho

Cortes de Cima Lour-inho 2023 is a luminous and white from Portugal’s Alentejo coast, crafted from 80% Alvarinho and 20% Loureiro. These northern varieties take on a new dimension in the region’s sandy, gravel, and silt soils, revealing a wine that is both elegant and precise.

Fermented with wild yeasts in a large oak foudre and aged for 10 months on lees before resting a further 6 months in stainless steel, Lour-inho combines texture with freshness. The palate is marked by bright notes of lime and orange blossom, underpinned by wet stone minerality and a saline finish that speaks of its Atlantic influence.

A sophisticated white of energy and finesse, perfect for those who appreciate both purity and complexity in their glass.
