Colour, taste: white, fresh and dry Grape variety: loureiro, trajadura, pedrenã, alvarinho Country, region: Portugal, Minho Nice with: Salad, Fish Vinho Verde is a sparkling, fresh white wine from Minho, the region in the north of Portugal. The wine is called Vinho Verde, green wine, because it is best enjoyed as young as possible. Then it is at its freshest and fruitiest. Some say, wrongly by the way, that the name has something to do with the landscape being so green because it often rains there. A few claim that green refers to the light green tint of the wine itself. The Portuguese themselves think that is nonsense. In any case, Vinho Verde is usually drunk ice cold, straight from the fridge. This one is fresh, soft and, due to its low alcohol content (8.5%), surprisingly light. That makes it nice for snacking.
