Vinho Verde (Minho style) · Braga
The young, slightly sparkling white wine of the Minho, made from loureiro, alvarinho and arinto grapes harvested between August and September.
Vinho Verde has been produced in the Minho region since at least the 12th century, when Cistercian monks from Braga's monasteries planted the first documented vineyards along the Lima and Cavado valleys. The Denominacao de Origem Controlada was established in 1908, making it one of Portugal's oldest protected wine regions. The wine is made from grapes grown on high pergola trellises that elevate the vines above the foggy valley floors, producing the green-fresh character the name describes. Braga sits at the heart of the Minho sub-region; Letraria Craft Beer Library Braga and Domus Vinum are the two best addresses for exploring the full range of local producers.
