Vinho Verde refers neither to a grape nor a blend. It is a region in the north of Portugal that is filled with green, rolling fields. The wine therefore reflects the light and refreshing environment where it comes from. This type of white wine has a pale platinum color with pronounced bubbles. It smells like nectarine and green apple with a hint of lime zest. On taste it is very fruity and moderate plus acidity. Flavors of grape and nectarine is definitely present. Goes well with cod or battered fried fish.

Light, crisp, and easy drinking. Small amount of bubbles with lemon and green apples on the nose. Prominent green apple taste.

I’m not a big white wine drinker, but this is light and delicious with crackers and hummus!
