Porta Nova Vinho Verde is made from the Loureiro and Trajadura grapes. These grapes grow in the vast Vinho Verde region, located further northwest in Portugal. Temperatures here are much cooler and there is, on average, much more rainfall than in southern Portugal. As a result, Vinho Verde wines often have higher acidity, and Porta Nova Vinho Verde is much fresher in aroma and flavor.
A typical Vinho Verde, bottled young by the Casa Ermelinda Freitas winery. The Loureiro and Trajadura grapes create a rich and fresh aroma that will linger. You'll smell fresh citrus and distinct gooseberries. A hint of fresh tropical fruit is sure to bring a smile to your face. Vinho Verde wines have historically had a rather dubious reputation. With the production of this Porta Nova Vinho Verde, all doubts are dispelled. The taste is sensational and incredibly delicious. Enjoy this Portuguese white wine with fish or seafood dishes.
