2023 Vera Vinho Verde White Wine from Portugal

Discover Vera Vinho Verde 2023: a refreshingly distinct Portuguese white wine crafted for the discerning palate seeking elegance beyond the ordinary. This vibrant blend (60% Arinto, 30% Azal, 10% Loureiro) delivers a uniquely crisp and aromatic experience straight from Portugal’s lush northwest DOC region.

Experience clean, lively bursts of zesty lime and juicy pink & yellow grapefruit on the palate. The Arinto grape provides vibrant structure and aging potential, while Azal contributes bright citrus freshness. Loureiro adds its signature delicate floral aromatics. A subtle, natural effervescence lifts these flavors beautifully, creating an incredibly refreshing finish – perfect as an aperitif or paired with light seafood and summer salads.

Vera stands apart in Vinho Verde by championing quality over convention. We exclusively use estate-grown fruit from our granite-rich Basto sub-region vineyards (vines 10-35 years old), consciously crafting a drier style with lower residual sugar and gentler carbonation than typical regional offerings. This commitment results in a more sophisticated, food-friendly wine reflecting its cool-climate origins – think rainy winters and mild summers shaping intensely green landscapes.

Inspired by Vinho Verde’s mid-century heritage as Portugal’s beloved low-alcohol “lunchtime drink,” our 2023 vintage honors that refreshing spirit (12.5% ABV) while elevating it for today’s wine lover seeking authentic character and artisanal value in every glass.
