About The Region
The Minho wine region, located in the northwest corner of Portugal, is renowned for its lush green landscapes and production of vibrant, refreshing wines. It is best known as the home of Vinho Verde, a lightly effervescent wine celebrated for its crisp acidity, low alcohol content, and bright flavors of citrus, green apple, and floral notes. The region's cool, Atlantic-influenced climate and granite-rich soils are ideal for growing indigenous grape varieties such as Alvarinho (Albariño), Loureiro, and Arinto, which dominate the blends. These wines pair exceptionally well with seafood, reflecting the culinary traditions of the area. Minho’s winemaking history is deeply rooted in Portuguese culture, and its wines are prized for their accessibility and food-friendly nature.
