Take a deep dive into the wines of Vinho Verde with this awesome mixed case! Dip your toe by starting with Covela's very rare Avesso. After that things get a little more interesting. Covela's Escolha and Reserva wines are a class of their own with the addition of Chardonnay and Oak thrown into the mix. Discover the real wines of Vinho Verde, with an intriguing twist.

Quinta de Covela Edição Nacional Avesso 2018 x 3

A rare, unicorn of a wine. Made from the local Avessogrape, which is rarely seen even in this region. A medium-bodied wine, subtle floral notes on the nose with a waxy, citrus mouthfeel on the palate. This doesnt come around very often!

Quinta de Covela Reserva 2015 x 1

A wine from the left field. Think white Burgundy meets Vinho Verde! Chardonnayisblended in equal parts with the local Arinto and Avesso varieties, delivering an exciting and challenging wine! Abarrelferment that spends around 9 months ageing before bottling. Toasty patisserie notes up top combine with baking spice and vanilla. The palate is remarkably fresh thanks to the lively Arinto, a beautiful wine that pairs perfectly with roast pork, or leaner cuts of beef- think fillet or rump!

Quinta de Covela Escolha 2015 x 2

Not what you might expect from this part of the world. This white blend has a chardonnay base, fermented in stainless steel tanks with a bit of time on the lees for extra body. Inviting and complex on the nose, with subtle honeyed, floral notes. The palate is oily with a long, lemon peel finish. Outstandingwithfood, meaty fish or white meat, or, thanks to a healthy dose of Avesso, this wine is stunning drank on its own.
About Vinho Verde Estate
Outside of its natural beauty and cultural heritage, Quinta de Covelas location is important to note. Situated on the right bank of the Douro River, the estate straddles the Douro Valley Region to the east and Vinho Verde to the west. Covela enjoys a maritime/continental microclimate with higher rainfall than the Douro Valley.

Soils are granitic with a sandy structure; ideal for the production and freshness of the white wines we produce.
