Tucked away in the lush green hills of northern Portugal, the wines of Vinho Verde this summer will give you all the refreshment you need! These light whites are best enjoyed young, when the thirst-quenching, intensely zesty fruit flavours are at their most vibrant.
Made only from local varieties such as Alvarinho, Loureiro, Avesso, Arinto and others, they take advantage of the Atlantic influence and the granitic minerality of the soils to provide you the fresk kick you need to face the heat. And the best thing? Vinho Verde wines offer really superb value - just see for yourself the five bottles below.
