A Portuguese white to explore in Vinho Verde.

Vinho Verde is not defined by Alvarinho alone. Check whether the bottle is single-varietal or a blend.

Try plain fish, then fish with lemon sauce. Record which element changes the balance between dish and wine.

Style descriptions are guides, not rules: vintage, vineyard, blending and maturation change the result.
