Origin: Northern Portugal. Mainly Grown In: Northern Portugal's Vinho Verde region and Galicia, Spain. Key Facts: Loureiro is mostly grown in northern Portugal where it plays a vital role in the region's most well-known wine: Vinho Verde. To the north of that, across the border in Spain, small pockets of this grape variety also crop up, however, it very much plays second fiddle to the region's more prolific variety, Albariño, which it is sometimes blended with. This grape is capable of producing both young, clean and fresh styles of white, but it does well with a bit of lees ageing, which adds body, weight and complexity, making for a more serious style. Whatever the weather, wines made from Loureiro are always wonderfully crisp, and any Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling fans should take a closer look at this gem from Portugal. Fun Fact: Loureiro wines bottled under the Vinho Verde label will often have a slight spritz to them, making for a seriously fun, refreshing drinking experience.
