Description: 

Portuguese green wine

One surprising thing when you visit Portugal is that restaurant wine lists don’t just have red and white—they also include “green” (Verde). It’s not that a magical green liquid appears in your glass; it refers to Vinho Verde, a famous Portuguese white wine. It’s such a classic that it’s often listed as its own category.

It starts with a fresh, citrusy note like lemon, followed by a gentle, straw-like softness. It pairs perfectly with appetizers and seafood dishes.
