This classic Vinho Verde from Casa de Vilacetinho comes from vineyards in the Amarante sub‑region of Portugal’s Vinho Verde DOC, an historic wine‑growing area known for its cool, Atlantic‑influenced climate and granite soils. Casa de Vilacetinho, established in the late 18th century, has been producing wines here for generations, reflecting the region’s characteristic freshness and balanced style.
Tasting Notes:
Pale straw yellow with green hues, this Vinho Verde displays lively citrus aromas with hints of white orchard fruit and subtle tropical notes. The palate is light, fresh and zesty with bright acidity and a smooth, refreshing finish — a quintessential expression of the region’s youthful, vibrant white wines.
Winemaking:
Produced from a blend of traditional Vinho Verde grape varieties such as Avesso, Arinto, Azal and Loureiro, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel to preserve the wine’s natural fruit flavours and crisp acidity.
Food Pairing:
An ideal partner for fresh seafood, grilled fish, shellfish, light salads and mild cheeses — dishes that complement the wine’s bright citrus character and lively acidity.
ABV: 11%
