Description
Lima & Smith took over the production of Tormes, one of the oldest traditional Vinho Verde brands, in 2018, which opened a new segment of the national and international market for us. With only one brand at the Eça de Queiroz Foundation vineyards to focus on, our winemaker Rui Cunha has managed to fine-tune this traditional Vinho Verde into something quite extraordinary: a wine that is at once friendly, approachable, offers maximum freshness, fruit and balance in a blend of Avesso and Arinto grapes. The result is, as Mark Squires, Portugal critic for Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate says: “In this style, this is about as good as it gets.” Colour: Lemon citrus. Nose: Young and intense, reminiscent of citrus and tropical fruits. Slightly floral. Palate: In the mouth it offers a smooth attack, balanced acidity and a fruity and vibrant finish. Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with fish, seafood and even white meat or traditional Portuguese cod dishes and a variety of snacks.
