Description

To make a proper Vinho Verde is to suppress the malolactic fermentation
and inject carbon dioxide at bottling to give the wine its characteristic
spritz. The wine is produced at Quinta de Azevedo in the Barcelos
commune - the top quality area for Vinho Verde production. Pneumatic
presses are used for gentle pressing to extract free run juice. A slow
fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures of 61 °F, to protect
the character of the Loureiro grape. Broadbent uses a special yeast (QA21)
which gives a special character to the wine. This yeast was developed in
their vineyards, and is now used all over the world. The wine is fresh, easy to drink and only 9% abv.

Portugal

Portugal is known for its fortified Port wines from the Douro Valley and the crisp, refreshing Vinho Verde from the Minho region. The Douro Valley’s steep terraces and schist soils produce rich, complex Ports with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. Vinho Verde’s cool, rainy climate yields light, aromatic whites with high acidity and citrus notes. Portugal’s diverse wine regions offer a wide range of styles, from robust reds to elegant whites, reflecting the country’s unique terroirs.
