This classic example is from the rugged slopes of Alto Lima and Vez and is an ideal wine for an English summer day with a BBQ or simply by itself. Style: Vinho Verde Serving Temperature: 8 - 10C Suggestions: Crisp acidity means it cuts through fatty meats at BBQ’s, ideal with shellfish, fish, sushi, tomatoes or simply as an aperitif.

This light wine has a citric colour and smells like green apples and stoned fruits. On the palate it has good acidity and deep freshness and is extremely well balanced.
