Somm4All WSET 3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Back in 1870 Manoel Pedro Guedes produced the first wines of from what was to be become Portugal’s iconic Vinho Verde wine region. To date, his winery remains family owned and dedicated to carry on the traditions set forth by its founder. Made with 100% aromatic Loueira grapes, this Colheita Selecionada is light, clean with mouth-watering freshness aided by the grapes natural penchant for producing a slight effervescence. Notes of pear, lemon, lime, grapefruit, green apple and white flower greet the olfactory senses. The palate mirrors the nose with the addition of some minerality. An excellent value, this Aveleda Loureiro is vibrant and teeters on the low-end of off-dry. Youthful, low in alcohol, and seemingly made for carefree Summer days with just enough spunk to pair perfectly with fresh seafood paella.
Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This Loureiro leans toward the savoury Sauvignon Blanc profile. Clean and crisp, it is refreshing and approachable. A hit of lemon on the finish is a nice final note. Great value here for a summer sipper or a seafood lunch wine. Tasted July 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com




Natalie's Review

Quinta Da Aveleda Loureiro 2017, Vinho Verde D.O.C., Portugal: The crisp, fresh 2017 vintage of the Loureiro Colheita Selecionada is light-bodied, refreshing and just 11.5% alcohol. Aromas of lime zest and lemon. The grapes are grown in various subregions. Pair with shellfish and seafood. Stunningly great value for this quality.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
