Paço de Teixeiró launches three new Vinho Verde wines to refresh your summer

Located in the Baião sub-region, in the Vinho Verde region, recognized as the birthplace of the Avesso grape variety, Paço de Teixeiró launches three new wines on the market, just in time to refresh this summer. In a unique terroir with schist soils, located at the foothills of the Serra do Marão, Paço de Teixeiró, which has been part of the WineStone portfolio since the end of last year, thus offers three new Vinho Verde wines, full of freshness and elegance: Teixeiró Avesso 2023, Teixeiró Alvarinho 2023, and Teixeiró 2023, a blend born from the Avesso, Loureiro, and Alvarinho grape varieties.

It is the queen grape variety of the Baião sub-region that gives rise to Teixeiró Avesso 2023, a single varietal that presents fruity and mineral aromas. Characterized by a fresh aroma that harmonizes with citrus notes and delicate stone fruit nuances, this wine, with a greenish-citrus color, showcases a harmony between acidity and body that makes it engaging and incredibly persistent.

Teixeiró Alvarinho 2023 is also a single varietal, representing the unique expression of this grape variety, which, besides being a symbol of the region, reveals fresh, elegant, and inviting notes. With delicate aromas combining stone fruit notes with a citrus touch of grapefruit and tropical nuances, this wine is characterized by complexity and volume on the palate. Its finish is engaging and fresh.

Finally, Teixeiró 2023 is born from the combination of the Avesso, Loureiro, and Alvarinho grape varieties and stands out for its fresh and fruity aroma, with citrus and floral notes. On the palate, it reveals a light and refreshing taste with a persistent and slightly effervescent finish, providing a unique sensory experience. An excellent companion for the hot days ahead.

These three new offerings come from a careful winemaking process, including de-stemmed grape pressing in a pneumatic press and fermentation in stainless steel vats with temperature control. The aging was done in stainless steel vats with light battonage for 4 months. “These wines represent a renewed commitment from Paço de Teixeiró. Three suggestions that accompany and invite great moments, in this case, especially on hotter days,” highlights David Baverstock, Chairman Winemaker at WineStone.

Mafalda Bahia Machado, the winemaker at Paço de Teixeiró, recalls “the pedigree of this house in producing excellent Vinho Verde wines, recognized for the Avesso grape, but offering unique conditions for the production of differentiated Vinho Verde wines that will certainly surprise.”
