Preview: Vinho Verde, Portugal

Discover why Vinho Verde today easily rivals famous Chardonnays and Rieslings! Vinho Verde is known world-wide as a refreshing petillant white wine, meant to be drunk young. But, the Cerdeira family of pioneers were the first to plant full plots of the indiginous varieties Alvarinho and Loureiro, that now produce top-quality wines that rival Chardonnay and Riesling. António Luís Cerdeira: “We have the word ‘vinho’ in the DOC name, and Vinho Verde also means the style of wine. It’s fantastic!”
