ABOUT THE WINE

“Estreia,” meaning “debut,” is a youthful blend of traditional Vinho Verde varieties—typically Loureiro, Arinto, and Trajadura—grown in the cool, rain-kissed Minho region of northwest Portugal. Granite-rich soils and Atlantic influence preserve acidity and aromatic freshness.

The 2024 vintage delivered clean, balanced fruit with excellent natural vibrancy. Fermented in stainless steel to retain brightness, the wine is bottled young to capture its fresh, lightly pétillant character. Expect citrus, orchard fruit, and subtle floral notes, with a low alcohol profile and refreshing finish.
