Vinho Verde Superior DOC - Manhufe

When swirled in the glass, Manhufe’s Vinho Verde Superior from Vinho Verde reveals a bright, golden-yellow color. This Portuguese cuvée presents wonderfully complex notes of peach, pear, mirabelle and apple in the glass. Added to this are hints of linden blossom.

Manhufe Vinho Verde Superior tastes pleasantly dry. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine, this Portuguese charmer delights, despite all its dryness, with the finest balance. Flavor does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. On the palate, this well-balanced white wine is characterized by an incredibly silky and crisp texture. The finish of this white wine from the Vinho Verde wine-growing region, more precisely from Vinho Verde DOC, ultimately impresses with a lovely length. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral facets from the granite-dominated soils.

Vinification of Manhufe’s Vinho Verde Superior

The basis for the first-class and wonderfully balanced Vinho Verde Superior cuvée from Manhufe consists of Avesso, Alvarinho and Arinto grapes. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Vinho Verde. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into granite soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
