#41 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2023
Brilliant citrine in color. Predominantly fruity character, aiming to highlight the aromas of stone fruit resulting from the high percentage of the blend being Albarino. Balanced, persistent, chewy and dry.
A cheerful, translucid, lemon-yellow and slightly pétillant white wine, Vinho Verde literally means ‘green wine’ and is named after the northwest Portugese region from which it originates. The ‘green’ in the name refers to the youthful state in which the wines are customarily released and consumed, not the color of the wine.
It is typically a blend of various percentages of Alvarinho, Loureiro, Trajadura, and Pedernã (Arinto). Following initial alcoholic fermentation, a natural, secondary malolactic conversion in cask produces carbon dioxide, giving Vinho Verde its charmingly light sparkle.
