Vinho Verde

Portugal

Vinho Verde: the 'green wine' of the Minho — not green in colour but young in spirit: low-alcohol, lightly sparkling whites (and some reds) made to drink within the year. Origins: the rainy northwest has made this fresh style since Roman times; the DOC (1908) is one of Portugal's largest.

What it is

Vinho Verde: the 'green wine' of the Minho — not green in colour but young in spirit: low-alcohol, lightly sparkling whites (and some reds) made to drink within the year. Origins: the rainy northwest has made this fresh style since Roman times; the DOC (1908) is one of Portugal's largest. Made from: Alvarinho, Loureiro, Arinto and Trajadura (whites); Vinhão (reds). How it's made: 1) Pick early for acidity. 2) Ferment cool and fast. 3) Bottle young, sometimes with a whisper of CO2. Served: very cold, with seafood, grilled sardines and summer lunches. Flavor: citrus, green apple, white flowers — electric freshness. Strength: 8.5-11.5%. Culture: Monção e Melgaço's Alvarinho is vinho verde at its most serious. See also: Port Wine, Ginjinha.
