From AB Valley Wines, Abcdarium 2020 Azal is a great value Vinho Verde under $16. Produced from sustainably grown Azal grapes, light and spritzy with white-fleshed stone fruit, almond, mandarin, citrus peel and minerally flavours concentrated and zesty on the palate. Azal Branco is a green-skinned wine grape mostly found in the Minho region of northwest Portugal and is the second most-planted white wine grape after Loureiro.

Branco food pairings: grilled chicken, green salads, shellfish hot pot.
