What is Vinho Verde?

Vinho Verde, which translates to "green wine," refers to the wine's youthful and fresh character rather than its color. This delightful wine hails from the scenic Minho region in the north of Portugal. Known for its crisp, slightly fizzy nature, Vinho Verde is the epitome of a refreshing wine – perfect for warm days and light meals.

Ancient Origins

Portugal's wine history dates back thousands of years, and Vinho Verde is a testament to the country’s enduring wine-making tradition. The Minho region, where Vinho Verde is produced, is one of the oldest and most picturesque wine regions in Portugal.

Unique Characteristics

Vinho Verde wines are renowned for their light, fresh, and slightly effervescent qualities. This slight fizziness is a natural result of the winemaking process, adding to the wine's lively and refreshing profile.

Flavor Profile

Portal da Calcada Vinho Verde typically features vibrant notes of citrus, green apple, and a touch of minerality. Its zesty acidity and low alcohol content make it an incredibly versatile wine, pairing beautifully with seafood, salads, and light appetizers.

Perfect for Any Occasion
