Quinta de Segade - Vinho Verde Loureiro Mica 2019 (750ml)

Quinta de Segade - Vinho Verde Loureiro Mica 2019

Quinta de Segade is a unique winery in the Vinho Verde region of northern Portugal that departs from the typical style of inexpensive and playful 'green wine' in this area. Instead they produce serious and incredible wine, displaying the full capabilities of this region's fruit while retaining its traditional roots. The Mica is composed of the local Loureiro, Trajadura, and Azal varietals, creating an incredibly complex and serious Vinho Verde. The soils from which the grapes are grown are rich in granite, and loaded with minerals of mica, quartz, and feldspar. This is the first vintage where small amounts of Chestnut Flowers were used at different stages, as it is a way to preserve the freshness, life, and character of wine without using sulfites. The result is a pure display of electric fruit and crunchy stone minerality, with its natural character underlying it all.
