Green wine, you know?
Where is vinho verde produced?
This wine is produced in the North West of Portugal, from the northern border with Spain to Porto. This vineyard, one of the oldest in Europe, now represents 15% of Portuguese wine production. The original characteristic of this appellation is that it makes it possible to produce red wine, white wine but also rosé wine.The appellations of vinho verde?
There are 9 sub-regional appellations, such as Amarante, Basto, Lima or Sousa. There are almost exclusively indigenous grape varieties, such as Alvarinho, Loureiro, Amaral, Padeiro.So why “green”?
It is therefore not because of its color, but rather linked to the fact that the grapes are harvested very early, before they are fully ripe. This early harvest allows the wine to be lively on the palate. What we love about “vinhos verdes” are their freshness and simplicity, especially when it's hot. These are wines to drink young. The red wines are light and fruity just like the rosé wines. The white wines have a very light color, they are fresh and have citrus notes on the palate. There is also a sparkling green wine. In these periods of high heat, be careful to serve the wine at the right temperature. You will not appreciate a wine served too hot. For green wines, serve sparkling wines at 6-8°C, whites at 8-10°C, rosés at 10-12°C or reds at 12-15°COur maps of Portugal
