Vinho Verde is a unique style of wine produced in Portugal, mainly in the Minho and Douro Litoral regions, with a strong influence of the oceanic climate. The name "Vinho Verde" does not refer to the color of the wine but rather to its young and fresh character.
The vineyards in the region are traditionally grown on pergolas, creating a shaded environment that protects the grapes from intense sunlight. This contributes to obtaining grapes with high acidity and low sugar content, which is crucial in the production of Vinho Verde.
The main grape varieties used in its production are Alvarinho, Loureiro, Trajadura, and Arinto, among others. Vinho Verde is known for its citrus, floral, and fruity notes, as well as its lightness and freshness.
One of the characteristic features of Vinho Verde is its delicate effervescence, which results from the partial fermentation of the remaining sugar in the bottle, giving the wine light bubbles. However, still (non-effervescent) versions are also available in the market.
Vinho Verde is typically consumed young and does not require long aging. Its acidity and fruity character make it a perfect match for seafood, fish, salads, and light dishes in general. Moreover, its low alcohol content makes it an ideal choice for relaxing moments, especially on hot summer days.
In summary, Vinho Verde is a unique expression of Portuguese terroir, offering fresh and vibrant experiences that reflect the authenticity and winemaking tradition of the region.
