Pale citrus in colour, this Portuguese wine is intense with fresh aroma. Medium sweet and a fresh acidity in mouth with a slight sparkle which is naturally produced, giving the wine a 'spritzy' feel.
 
Light, crisp and bright with a slightly sweeter taste (largely due to the low ABV) and slight minerality. Very easy drinking and a top seller at our recent wine tasting. A perfect wine for warm evenings.
 
Food Pairing: This Vinho Verde works very well with grilled fish and lightly fried seafood, with proscuitto, olives and tangy cheese or enjoy it with cooked tomato and aubergine dishes. A lovely aperitif, perfect for picnics and BBQs.
