Vinho Verde DOC
The Vinho Verde DOC is the largest of Portugal; located in the far northwest, close to the Atlantic as well as the northern border with Spain, Vinho Verde is best known for its charming, easy-drinking white wines, produced from local varieties such as Trajadura, Arinto and Alvarinho (known as Albariño in Spain). There are also sparkling versions of Vinho Verde as well as some reds, produced from the Vinhao grape. These reds are high in acidity, with deep color, and relatively low in alcohol.
