The Ave subregion is particularly noted for the production of white wines, made predominantly from local Portuguese grape varieties such as Loueiro and Trajadura. Wines produced in this area have a youthful, fresh, and slightly fizzy character, often with a low alcohol content, making them a popular choice for summer drinking. Vinho Verde - Ave wines are often marked by their crisp acidity, with flavors of green apple, lime, and white peach.
