Straw color. Grassy aromas and flavors of lemon curd and buttered multi grain toast, lemon scented detergent and dandelions, and star fruit with a glycerous, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish that exhibits notes of fresh garden herbs and lemon grass, sesame oil, and persimmon with no oak flavor. A round and herbal white wine that will be nice with smoked seafood and poultry dishes.

The most famous white wine from Portugal is vinho verde, literally "green wine." Produced from an array of indigenous varieties such as Arinto and Trajadura, these wines have a very slight petillance and are light to medium-bodied, offering fresh fruit and floral aromatics with notes of apple, lemon and lilacs. Enjoy these wines in their youth as an aperitif or with Asian cuisine.

Other white wines from Portugal include those made from international varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay as well as local cultivars such as Antao Vaz and Roupiero. These varieties account for a small amount of Portuguese white, but tend to be richer and with more aging capability than vinho verde.
