Pedernã in Vinho Verde

Quinta de Azevedo ★ 4.3

Sogrape's Cávado estate around a 17th-century manor house near Barcelos, working Loureiro and Pedernã (Arinto) on the warmer, lower-altitude terraces of the sub-region for the long-standing Quinta de Azevedo label.

Tasting: Estate tours, vineyard walks and harvest experiences at the Sogrape-owned Cávado estate by reservation.

Signature wines: quinta-de-azevedo-loureiro, quinta-de-azevedo-reserva

Tip: The manor-house lunch pairing is one of the easiest ways to taste the Cávado Loureiro style straight from source.

Quinta de Azevedo Cellar Door ★ 4.4

Sogrape's 17th-century Cávado manor estate around Barcelos opens for guided tours of the Loureiro and Pedernã vineyards, ending with a manor-house lunch keyed to the Quinta de Azevedo range.

Quinta de Azevedo Vinho Verde ★ 4.1

Sogrape's single-estate Vinho Verde from Quinta de Azevedo near Barcelos in the Cavado sub-region. A Loureiro-and-Pederna blend with cleaner, more terroir-led fruit than the cooperative blends.

Tip: Step up from Gazela; the Quinta de Azevedo estate bottling is the cellar's quality reference under twelve euros.
