In Portugal, a Vinho Verde Grape Becomes an Easy-Drinking ... (Wine Enthusiast Magazine)

With bright, fruity acidity and lower levels of alcohol, Avesso is poised for success. Learn more about this Vinho Verde grape from Portugal.

“But the sell is usually quite simple: If the customer likes fresh and unoaked white, they’re likely going to like Avesso.” “It’s a great food wine, very clean and easy to drink,” says Swantner, explaining that since its debut, it’s a wine they’ve consistently reordered so that there’s always inventory on the shelves. “I wanted them to be a great mirror of the region.” In the northern city of Guimarães, at the Michelin-starred restaurant A Cozinha, sommelier Hélder Silva’s one Avesso (from Quinta da Raza) is often poured to accompany Chef Antonio Loureiro’s crayfish starter. Carlos Teixeira, winemaker at Quinta da Lixa, recently began to produce varietal Avesso. Known for his value-driven Vinho Verde wines, Teixeira also bottled the first pétillant-naturel in the region by blending Loureiro and Alvarinho. In March 2022, he released his first Avesso wines. Historically, the Avesso grape was primarily planted in Vinho Verde’s Baião subregion, which borders the Douro. Baião’s schist and granite soils were fantastic for Avesso’s bright, fruity acidity and lower levels of alcohol.

It’s a very exciting time for them,” a source told The Telegraph. Eugenie and Brooksbank, parents to one-year-old son August, had been living in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Frogmore Cottage while in the UK, and are now said to be splitting time between CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, south of Lisbon, and London.

In the year following their 2018 wedding, the Sussexes spent $3 million of taxpayers’ money on refurbishments to the cottage, which was converted from five separate apartments into a single-family residence.

Eugenie and Jack are now on the lookout for a new home in the UK, with rumors suggesting they’re eyeing up Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor estate (which curiously enough Duchess Kate and Prince William are also said to be interested in.)

The company strives to transform and simplify care for people with life-threatening illnesses around the world. She has also designed her presentations to be part of a more positive learning environment than was typical when she was in high school. The educational materials, created with the assistance of an infectious disease specialist, are presented to 15-18 year old teenagers, as well as to university students in pharmacy and med school. She is relatable to the students and has a knack for gaining their confidence and presenting the information in easy-to-understand terms. When João started the program two years ago he was surprised by the number of students who assumed that an HIV diagnosis was essentially a death sentence. “It's exhilarating, there's a sense of freedom and independence, still safeguards need to be taken while driving.”

A drive along the coast of San Miguel, for example, offers vistas shifting from mountainous foothills, to beaches, to terraced vineyards in a matter of minutes.
