2024 Ve-Ve Vinho Verde

The Ve-Ve Vinho Verde is a bright, refreshing white wine from Portugal’s lush Minho region, home to the historic Vinho Verde DOC. Crafted primarily from Loureiro and Arinto, two native Portuguese varieties prized for their aromatic lift and vibrant acidity, this wine captures the youthful energy for which Vinho Verde is famous. Vineyards influenced by Atlantic breezes and granite soils produce grapes with excellent natural freshness and delicate fruit expression. Fermentation in stainless steel preserves the crisp aromatics and lively character of the fruit. The resulting wine is light-bodied, clean, and invigorating, with a subtle spritz that enhances its refreshing nature. Ve-Ve Vinho Verde is a perfect everyday white that balances bright fruit, acidity, and minerality with effortless drinkability.
