A classic Vinho Verde, with some gentle spritz and medium / medium-dry. It boasts wonderful green-grassy freshness and is thoroughly moreish.

Vinho Verde, the most popular white wine from Portugal, is a deliciously refresing, light wine. "Verde", meaning "Green" refers to the hints of lime colour. It makes a brilliant pairing with any fish, shellfish and poultry.

As for other grapes from this region, Avesso produces high acid, crisp wines. Quinta da Raza have produced a wonderful varietal Avesso. It has classic citrus fruit, bringing a bit of zip, lifted white flowers, and a little weight from some time on lees.

Often quoted as the standard bearer for this variety in Portugal, Luis Cerdeira is the surest pair of hands south of the Minho with Alvarinho.
Soalheiro’s Alvarinho 'classico' is, vintage after vintage, consistently bursting with vibrant, sun-drenched fruit and fresh minerality.
Not your standard Vinho Verde, these wines can live for years, too.
