Sável Vinho Verde White – DOC Vinho Verde, Portugal 🇵🇹

Overview
A classic low-alcohol Vinho Verde white built for refreshment, vibrancy, and easy enjoyment. Typically made from traditional regional grapes such as Loureiro, Trajadura, Arinto, and Azal, this style focuses on citrus drive, light effervescence, and mouthwatering acidity rather than complexity or weight. At only ~9.5% ABV with a gentle natural spritz, this is the definition of a summer wine, energetic, thirst-quenching, and dangerously easy to drink. Simple by design, joyful by execution.

Aromas & Flavors
Fresh lime zest, green apple, lemon peel, and underripe pear. Light white blossom and faint herbal tones. Subtle saline snap and crushed citrus notes. Clean, bright fruit profile with a refreshing, slightly fizzy lift on the palate.

Mouthfeel
Light-bodied, crisp, and lively. Bright acidity keeps everything snappy and refreshing. Gentle spritz adds lift and texture without heaviness. Clean, short, refreshing finish that invites the next sip immediately.

Food Pairings
Perfect with: Grilled shrimp, ceviche, oysters, and seafood tacos. Light salads, citrus vinaigrettes, and fresh herbs. Sushi, sashimi, and light Asian dishes. Soft cheeses, summer vegetables, and picnic fare. Also shines beautifully as a pure patio pounder.

🍷 Personal Pick
This is exactly what Vinho Verde should be, refreshing, joyful, and insanely easy to drink. Whether you’re sipping in the sun or pairing casually with food, it just works. Dangerously delicious 😋

Vinho verde, not your grandmothers… which is to say biggish body, thicker viscosity, green & ripening white fruits. Enticing & serious. And for less than 17$. Savio Soares. — 6 months ago

A refreshing white blend of indigenous grapes fro Portugal; Alvarinho (Albarino), Loureiro, Arinto, and Azal. Very light, dry but with abundance of floral, lemon peel tangerine and green apple notes with nice acidity and a gentle touch of carbonation finish. This is a wine that is vinified to be consumed very young. — 10 months ago
