When thinking of a go-to summer wine, most usually think of a rosé or sparkling white. While these are tried and true companions for hot summer days, there's one type of wine you might be overlooking: Vinhos Verdes.
Whether you want a post-yoga reward or are hosting a summer event like a bachelorette party, park picnic, or poolside lounge with friends, Vinhos Verdes are light, refreshing, and fruity wines that are a true crowd-pleaser.
A little about Vinhos Verdes that you might not know:
It was established in 1908 in Portugal, making it one of the oldest and most celebrated Portuguese wine regions
Its name is a tribute to the lush, verdant landscape that defines the terroir, imparting unique characteristics and a vibrant personality to its wines
Alvarinho and Loureiro grape varieties are often used. Alvarinho wines have intense and complex fruity profiles, with notes of quince, peach, banana, lemon, passion fruit, and lychee. Younger Alvarinho wines often reveal hints of pear and melon
