Howards Folly 2024 Alvahrino (Albarino)

🌎 Wine Region: Monção & Melgaço, Portugal 🍇 Grape: 100% Alvarinho (Albarino) 🍷 Tasting Notes: Bright, fresh and impeccably balanced, this Portuguese Alvarinho offers vivid citrus and stone fruit flavours with a lively mineral edge. Hailing from the high‑altitude vineyards of Monção & Melgaço in northern Portugal, this wine is a vibrant, expressive example of Alvarinho at its best. The nose opens with zesty lemon, green apple and subtle white floral notes, while the palate delivers crisp acidity, juicy ripe pear and a delicate saline finish that keeps every sip refreshing. The texture is sleek and focused, with excellent clarity and length. This is an approachable yet refined white that pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, shellfish, light salads, and soft cheeses, making it an ideal choice for spring and Easter feasting — or simply a bright, celebratory glass.
