Vinho Verde DOC
Vinho Verde
It is one of the most original and distinctive regions of Portugal, marked by an extreme Atlantic influence, in a green and humid landscape, with cool temperatures and abundant rainfall.
Covering an extensive area throughout the north-west of continental Portugal, the largest denomination in the country spans approximately 24,000 hectares, with ownership dispersed among numerous small plots, some of which are no bigger than small backyards.
Located in the extreme north of continental Portugal, the denomination is bounded to the north by the Minho river, stretching along the Atlantic coast until the city of Porto, and to the south as far as the banks of the Vouga river. The vineyards are predominantly concentrated in the valleys of the main rivers, with the soils being mainly granite, fertile to very fertile, and possessing high acidity.
The denomination is further subdivided into nine distinct sub-regions: Monção e Melgaço, Lima, Basto, Cávado, Ave, Amarante, Baião, Sousa, and Paiva. Of these, Monção e Melgaço stand out as the most unique sub-region, as it is the only one protected from the direct Atlantic influence and experiences a maritime and continental climate. This results in fuller-bodied wines with a higher alcohol content.
Unusual vineyard management techniques are a hallmark of Vinho Verde, ranging from the distinctive "enforcado vine" layout where the vines are intertwined in trees, to the pergola system (also known as "latada") and the "cruzeta", as well as the now more common simple cordon system.
Alvarinho, Arinto (known locally as Pedernã), Avesso, Azal, Loureiro, and Trajadura are the predominant white grape varieties, while Borraçal, Brancelho, Espadeiro, and Vinhão are the red varieties. The white wines are particularly known for their aromas, clarity, and refreshing qualities, and since 1999, the region has been producing sparkling wines, positioning itself as one of the most promising areas for quality sparkling wines.
