The biggest wine producing region of Portugal

Birthplace of “Vinho Verde” which means “green wine” or young wine. Although many of these wines are usually drunk young, Portugal’s Alvarinho grape can produce stunning long-lived wines.

Although red “Vinho Verde” does exist, the vast majority of wines produced are white.
Generally a low alcohol wine (usually somewhere around 9%) that often has a slight spritz.

Wines are generally light, fresh with natural high acidity and minerality with floral and fruity aromas.

Main white grapes: Alvarinho, Arinto, Loureiro, Trajadura
Main red grapes: Vinhão.
