Did you know Vinho Verde can be red? That’s right! The name of a region, rather than a style of wine, it includes vibrant, light-to-medium-bodied reds like this indigenous blend, full of strawberry fruit lifted by very pleasant acidity. A thoroughly modern expression of red Vinho Verde from Portugal, light and fruity after a very short fermentation on the skins to produce a wine low in extract, with herb-scented silky red fruit and fresh finish. Chillable!
Pardusco was the name given to the first red wines, wich were exported to England in the fourteenth century. This wine is a tribute to that glorious past
Food-Pairing
Ideal with fine white meat, veal schnitzel, pasta dishes, charcuterie, cheese like Reblochoon (Haute-Savoie) or at the start of the meal.
Grapes: Alvarelhão, Cainho, Pedral & Vinhão
The grapes come from Monção in the north and the valley of the Lima, on the west side of Vinho Verde. The wine is made by first applying a cold soak to the skins for more color. After a slow fermentation at low temperature - for the fruit - a ripening takes place on used barrels, which have served for the Alvarinho, in combination with a micro-oxygenation, to soften the tannin
