LYMA Vinho Verde DOC Portugal 2024

A tribute to freshness, Lyma refers to the sub-appellation of Lima in the Vinho Verde region of Portugal, as well as honoring the Lima river that runs west from Galicia though the entirety of Vinho Verde to the Atlantic Ocean. 

A blend of 80% Loureiro, 10% Trajadura, and 10% Pederna. Vines at an elevation of 20 meters are grown on granite soils in the Lima sub-region of Vinho Verde. The Atlantic Ocean surrounds the Lima area from the west, creating several microclimates in the Lima Valley.  The natural conditions of this region are ideal to produce excellent white wines. Many differentiating factors contribute to the splendor of this unique region: the influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the exposure to sea winds, granite soils, mild climate and high rainfall. The Lima River is surrounded by mountains on both sides (north and south banks), allowing for the appearance of morning mist during summer months, which contributes to preserving the freshness of the grapes.

A refreshing crisp and lively wine, aromatics of fresh flowers and citrus notes.  On the palate tropical fruit notes blended with lemon and lime notes dance across the palate.  This wine is crisp and refreshing, perfect to be enjoyed all summer long.
