Vinha Maria Vinho Verde DOC - Global Wines

Poured into a white wine glass, this white wine from Portugal offers wonderfully expressive aromas of grapefruit, acacia, lemongrass and pineapple, rounded off by other fruity nuances.

On the palate, the texture of this fleet-footed white wine is wonderfully light and crisp. Due to its lively fruit acidity, the Vinha Maria Vinho Verde reveals itself impressively fresh and lively on the palate. The final of this white wine from the wine-growing region of Minho, more precisely from Vinho Verde DOC, finally impresses with good reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the soils dominated by granite and slate.

Vinification of the Vinha Maria Vinho Verde from Global Wines

The elegant Vinha Maria Vinho Verde from Portugal is a cuvée vinified from the grape varieties Arinto, Azal, Loureiro and Trajadura. In Minho, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of slate and granite. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
