Vinho Verde

Vinho Verde is a young, usually artificially carbonated, slightly effervescent white wine originated from the Minho region of Portugal. Known for its light body, crisp acidity, and refreshing citrus flavors, it often has a subtle spritz that enhances its zesty character.

Vinho Verde has gained significant global popularity for its affordability and versatility. Its unique characteristics make it a favorite among wine enthusiasts looking for a refreshing option. It pairs well with fish, salads (like citrus salad), seafood, light pastas, and grilled vegetables. This wine's delightful freshness makes it a perfect choice for warm weather and casual gatherings.
