ALLO has a yellow and silvery-bright colour. In this blend, Alvarinho, full of tropical fruit and structure, contrasts with Loureiro, floral and delicate, resulting in a lively yet elegant white wine. The moderately low alcohol content contributes to the wine's balance. ALLO is perfect as a 'wine by the glass' or as an aperitif, ideal for a sunny day. It also pairs well with seafood, grilled fish, white meats, matured cheeses, smoked meats, or Asian and Mediterranean gastronomies.

The 2022 ALLO (the "AL" being 30% Alvarinho, the "LO" referencing 70% Loureiro) is dry and comes in at 11.6% alcohol. A touch tart, this has a little mouth-pucker on the finish in its youth. It is plainly a blend aiming for acidity more than concentration. There's a fair bit of power and that fresh feel that so many love about Vinho Verde (at Soalheiro, to be clear, there is no fizz). What this lacks just now is better integration of its parts and some expressiveness. It doesn't truly do justice to either of its components, but I suspect a month or two more of bottle aging will help that along. It should hold reasonably well, not that most will want to hold it past next summer.
