Quinta do Ameal is a strikingly beautiful estate that sits in the heart of the Lima Valley in the Minho region of Portugal. This is the most northerly region that borders the Atlantic Ocean to the west and is separated from Spain by the Minho River to the north. The Loureiro grape thrives in the granite and schist soils that cover the valley and produce wines that are fine and refreshing. The locals describe the wines as “needle point” because of the racy acidity of these local white wines.
