| Quinta De Aveleda |
|
 Located in the heart of the Vinho Verde region of northern Portugal, evidence
shows that the Quinta, or winery, dates back to the 16th Century. It has been
owned by the Guedes family since 1947 and it continues to be a family run business
that is committed to making world class wines at affordable prices. The Guedes
family has also been very instrumental in pioneering viticultural research by
working with new, drought resistant vine clones. The Aveleda Vinho Verde is a
crisp, dry, aromatic white wine that is fermented entirely in temperature controlled,
stainless steel. It is very low in alcohol and therefore works brilliantly as
a starter wine with appetizers, shrimp or antipasti. Charamba is a blend of the
classic Port varietals - Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz and
Tinta Barroca. It is aged in Portuguese oak barrels for 6 to 9 months making
for a rich, full-bodied red wine excellent with grilled meats and rich sauces. |
