Vinho Verde! An almost magical 100% Albarino (Alvarinho) from Portugal, made by reader favorite Art + Farm Wines. The Bulk Buy rated (91-93 points) The Messenger Albarino Vinho Verde 333 is XX% off for the next day.
Those of you who took part in our original White Intro Pack will remember this fresh, zesty and satisfying wine and now it’s back in a stand-alone deal just in time for spring!
And as is the case with most of The Messenger wines, there’s a great story behind this wine:
As a child growing up in Australia, Rob would accompany his dad to one of the local wineries where they would ‘go around the back’ and find a designated barrel of Port wine with a unique chalk mark. Once the barrel was identified they syphoned the Port into their 5-gallon container. Doing this required sticking a hose in the barrel, sucking on it until the Port started flowing and then jamming the hose into the container without drinking or spilling too much. Rob figures his first taste of Port was probably around the age of 10, courtesy of this syphoning hose. Once the container was filled, they would hand some cash to the cellar guy and return home to carefully decant the Port into a selection of small barrels. To this day, Rob’s 94-year-old father still keeps a small barrel of Port at the ready to share with friends.
Rob’s fascination with Port grew from these early experiences and evolved into a love of Portugal’s famed Vintage Ports and eventually triggered a visit to Porto. Now, he was expecting the Ports to be glorious – and they were. The big surprise was how good the dry table wines were. Screamingly good white and red wines that were also very reasonably priced.
Kat and Rob discovered a small family farm growing grapes and making wine in both the Douro region near Porto and the Vinho Verde region further north. Standing out among their varied offerings were the Alvarinho (Albariño) and Touriga Nacional. The family has an unusual arrangement with another customer that prohibits us from using their name, which is a shame. However, the story of the Portuguese family and their wines took Rob back to his childhood and reminded him of the family his Dad would buy Port from. In every way, these wines are an expression of the land that grew them and the hands that have touched them.
Vinho Verde might just be the quintessential wine for spring and summer and this un-oaked, 100% Albarino is a fantastic example. Even better, you’re saving XX% off the normal $24/bottle price through today’s deal…
For the next day you can get 4 bottles of the 2021 The Messenger Albarino Vinho Verde for just $XX.95 ($XX.99/bottle). That’s a SAVINGS of $XX a bottle!

From the winery:
Grown along the River Minho in northern Portugal where it is known as Alvarinho, this crisp, romantic and refreshing white wine is bursting with complex fruit flavors. The freshness of this wine is enhanced by the wonderful silky texture. Joyous while young, this wine will develop wonderful complexities if allowed to age in the bottle for a few years. Your choice!

The 2021 The Messenger Albarino Vinho Verde begins with a very fresh, attractive and inviting aroma of zesty citrus, apple, pear, honeysuckle and lots of salty mineral notes.
The first thing you notice when tasting the wine is the wonderful texture that is both smooth and crisp. The next thing that hits you is the great depth on the fruit! The flavors are similar to the nose although a bit more tart in the mouth with lots of lemon. With good acidity and great balance this is super easy to drink.
It ends dry, crisp, quite long and very satisfying! Stock up for the warm months on the way, you’ll thank me later.
Cheers,
Jon
