Avesso is a stunning grape only really found in the famous Vinho Verde wines of Portugal. It's similar to Alvarinho in its flavours of grapefruit and peach, but Avesso also has a subtle bitter green almond note too. Avesso is a great grape to drink young, but also has the potential to age beautifully over time.
