The Wine Grapes Loureiro

The grapes Loureiro are one high quality white grape variety, recommended for almost the entire Demarcated Region of the Vinho Verde.

With a culture area in great expansion, because it produces much appreciated white wines by the consumers, it seems that the Loureiro grape originated in the valley of the River Lima.

The name in Portuguese "Loureiro" means "laurel" or "bay" and the aroma of Loureiro wines is said to resemble that of laurel flowers, also orange blossom, acacia and lime blossom, overlaying apple, peachy fruit. Loureiro wines usually have refreshing, well-balanced acidity.

Loureiro is much in evidence nowadays bottled as a single variety

It is a very vigorous, high-yielding variety that has only recently been recognized as "noble". The bunches are elongated and relatively compact, bearing medium-sized, yellowish-greenish grapes.

Loureiro is a light-skinned variety grown mainly in the north of Portugal and used to make the popular white Vinho Verde wines of the Minho region. It's also grown in smaller amounts in Galicia, just across the Spanish border to the north. Here it is called Loureira, and is used in the white wines of Rias Baixas, often blended with the district's pre-eminent grape variety, Albariño, of which it is thought to be a relative.

Highly productive, this grape variety produces wines with a distinctive aroma, harmonious and flavourous.

The Vinho Verde

Vinho Verde is unique in the world.

Its vibrant freshness, elegance, lightness and aromatic and flavorful expressions, especially its fruity and floral notes, are the characteristics that define and differentiate Vinho Verde.

Exclusively produced in the demarcated region of Vinho Verde in northwestern Portugal, it is only produced from the indigenous grape varieties of the region, preserving its typicity of aromas and flavors as unique in the world of wine.

Vinho Verde is not a grape variety; it is a DOC for the production of wine. The name literally means "green wine," but translates as "young wine".

The slight effervesce of the wine came from malolactic fermentation taking place in the bottle. In winemaking this is usually considered a wine fault but Vinho Verde producers found that consumers liked the slightly fizzy nature.

This wine Loureiro pairs very well with fish and seafood. And in a hot day it’s a fantastic wine for enjoying a glass of wine Loureiro and celebrates life.

Cheers with one light fizzy Vinho Verde Loureiro…

BEER BOBELINE BLOND

Image
Blonde Belgium Beer Bobeline lager is a refermented bottled 8.5° beer. Although it packs a punch, it goes down well at pre-dinner drinks and can accompany a simple meal. However, it remains a degustation beer first and foremost. It forms part of the strong lager category. It is full-bodied and has a thick head. When you taste it, you notice a fruity, slightly zesty and spicy taste, in addition to barley and yeast, with a tinge of bitterness, but no hint of aggressiveness. ABOUT THE BREWERY… Didier Dumalin had the idea of creating Bobeline, a beer named after Spa, in 1991. “Although I am originally from Liège”, he says, “I have been coming to Spa on holiday every year in August, since I was a young boy. I have always adored this area, and wanted to do something here. This is why I created a beer, Bobeline, in Spring 1991, which was introduced to mark the Crêtes de Spa event”. Bobeline started out well, and then clearly “just got by” for around ten years. The beer actually
