In the Parcela do Convento, Loureiro gains a new dimension — deeper and more enveloping, without losing the freshness that defines it.
Next to the ruins of an ancient convent, 220 meters above sea level, this two-hectare plot is home to a 15-year-old vineyard on granite soils, between poorer subsoils and richer layers.
It is within this balance that everything is decided. Vigor slows, and expression gains depth. Canopy management reveals a denser, more enveloping Loureiro, marked by the identity of the plot.
Discover the wine in all its richness: aromas, textures, and pairings that reveal its essence and personality.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Expressive notes of white fruit, with elegant minerality and a touch of citrus.
Palate: Excellent balance between freshness, minerality, and acidity, with notes of ripe passion fruit, grapefruit, and lime peel, leading to a long, vibrant finish.
Pairings
Pairs well with shellfish dishes, lamb, or asparagus risotto, allowing the wine’s character and density to fully express themselves.
Serving Suggestions
• Serve between 50°F and 54°F (10°C–12°C)
• Store horizontally in a cool, dark place
• Best enjoyed within 10 years of bottling
The Parcela range is born from selection and attention to detail. It is in this subtle yet decisive difference that Aveleda reveals wines with a unique identity.
