This unique Vinho Verde red wine from the Este range of Portugal is truly rustic. Made with 100% Vinhão grapes, this is a traditional style wine that has been modernised and is now famous for its culinary versatility. The grape Vinhao makes the darkest wine in Portugal (also called Sousao in the south) and is considered a landmark wine.
Intense, deep purple in colour, the multi-layered bouquet is dominated by forest fruits and earthy nuances. The palate pulls together these luscious forest fruits, hinting at black plum, blackberry, blueberry and redcurrant. Suitable to drink lightly chilled as a fruity summer red on its own, or try with roasted and barbecue cuisine.
The Vinho Verde region is a wonderfully diverse area and their wines are loved by those looking for lighter wines that excite and satisfy. The co-operative producers of the Este range are committed to ensuring the highest standards. They use grapes from the Lima sub-region to bring young, aromatic, light and fresh wines with unique characteristics.
