white grape

Azal

Cool Atlantic vineyards of northern Portugal.

Known as: Azal Branco, Azal

Azal is a traditional white of Portugal's Vinho Verde, a crisp, high-acid variety that lends backbone and freshness to the region's light blends.

While less aromatic than Loureiro, it contributes sharp citrus and a clean, stony finish.

For the buyer, Azal is honest freshness — the crisp, mineral heart of everyday Portuguese white.
