Pairing guide
We’ve said it before and we’ll surely say it again: when it comes to food-friendly white wines, few hold a candle when compared with Vinho Verde. Portugal’s signature slightly sparkling wine is a joy to pair with fresh salads, simple chicken dishes, seafood rice and grilled sardines, but will also provide excellent pairings for peri-peri creations, Asian fried rice and noodle recipes, and all kinds of barbecue favourites like grilled sausages, pork chops, chicken wings and veggie burgers. Pasta salads, Thai curries, croquetas… the list just goes on and on!

Wine region
Vinho Verde, Portugal
Vinho Verde is a wine region located in the Minho province of Portugal, known for producing light and refreshing wines that are perfect for warm weather. The region's name, which means "green wine," refers to the young age of the wines, which are typically consumed within a year of their production. The wines are typically made from indigenous grape varieties, such as Alvarinho and Loureiro, and are characterised by their low alcohol content, high acidity, and slight effervescence. There is a fascinating tradition of having the vines climb up high so you can pick the grapes while standing however this has mostly faded out now.
