  • Regular price $12.50


Bico Amarelo reaches the market in March and represents the diversity of the Vinho Verde Region through its three main grape varieties. This 2020 white wine results from a blend of the Loureiro, Alvarinho and Avesso varieties, which through a simple vinification process that does not involve the addition of sugar or gas, offers a light, fresh and balanced wine, dominated by hints of citrus fruits and flowers.

 

 

Bico Amarelo reflects the diversity of an extensive region, with numerous subregions and details. The Loureiro offers freshness, intensity and exuberance, which combine with the concentration, riper fruit in the nose and acidity found in the Alvarinho. In turn, the Avesso brings body, balance and harmony in the mouth.

For José Luís Moreira da Silva, winemaker at Quinta do Ameal “Bico Amarelo reflects and represents the best of the diversity of the Vinho Verde Region. Not only due to the choice of varieties typical of the Region, but above all due to the simple vinification methods, with the pressing of entire bunches, fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and the distinctive batonnage stage, which affords greater creaminess, more texture and greater balance to the final batch”.
