Description
Vinho Verde is not a grape variety, it is a DOC for the production of wine. The name means “green wine”The majority of the wines classified as Vinho Verde are white, but the region is also known for the production of red and rose wines. A white Vinho Verde is very fresh, due to its natural acidity, with fruity and floral aromas that depend on the grape variety. The white wines are lemon- or straw-coloured, around 8.5 to 11% alcohol, and are made from local grape varieties Loureiro, Arinto, Trajadura, Avesso, and Azal. At less than one bar of CO2 pressure, they do not quite qualify as semi-sparkling wines but are nonetheless slightly sparkling.
