"With the color of bright citrine, the bouquet is intense, dominated by citrus fruits and the floral aromas characteristic of the Loureiro grape. On the palate this wine is vibrant and balanced with a refreshing acidity that anticipates a good evolution. While this wine is ready to drink, it will also age well in its first few years." —winemaker

"The 2021 Loureiro is the winery's classic version—meaning "unoaked." It comes in at 11.6% alcohol, less than 1.5 grams of sugar and 7.3 of total acidity. This was only in bottle about two weeks, but I was assured it was showing well. Well, it's a little disjointed, but you can see all the stuffing there to make a classic Ameal, including the big acidity, silky texture and subtle concentration. This is something that should age well, as always, but it will get better. Hopefully, it settles into the right place. For all of its bottling issues, it is in a better place now than the bigger 2019 Reserva. As time goes on, they may separate more, in favor of the 2019; but for the moment, this is as strong competitor. There were 43,800 bottles produced." —Wine Advocate
