Portugal’s best loved Vinho Verde. Refreshing, crisp with a tingly sparkle taste of apple tartness from the cool and luscious Vinho Verde DOC region in north eastern Portugal, Famega Vinho Verde White has a delicious citrus flavor like the fragrance of a summer garden. Pleasant and mellow this young white wine will be the perfect accompaniment to all kinds of seafood, salads, mild cheeses, as an aperitif or by itself. The alcoholic content of Vinho Verde – about 9%-10% -- makes it the ideal natural low calorie white wine.
Fact sheet: The climate has Atlantic Ocean influences. The vines were planted on granite soil and the grape varieties use were 40% Asal, %30 Avesso and %30 Pederna. The classical method of “bica aberta” was used, where the stems are removed before the fermentation of the grape juice. The wine was settled and fermented in stainless steel vats before being bottled in March of the following year.
