Azahar Vinho Verde 2024

Vinho Verde is produced in the Minho region of north-west Portugal, one of Europe's greenest and most lush wine regions. The name means "green wine" — a reference not to the colour but to the youth and freshness of the wine. Azahar ("orange blossom" in Portuguese) captures the aromatic, floral character of this blend perfectly: bright, lively, and made to be enjoyed young.

About This Wine

A delicious Vinho Verde made from a blend of Loureiro, Arinto, and Trajadura — three of the region's classic native varieties. Each grape brings something different: Loureiro for floral aromatics, Arinto for crisp acidity, and Trajadura for body and texture. The result is a wine that is bright, refreshing, and full of personality.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Pale straw with a fresh, lively appearance
Nose: Enticing and aromatic — orange blossom, green fruit, and a distinctive minerality
Palate: Bright and lively with fresh green fruit, natural effervescence, and a clean mineral finish
Finish: Crisp and refreshing with a clean, zesty close

Food Pairing

A natural match for grilled fish, seafood, and green salads. The light effervescence and fresh acidity also make it an excellent aperitif on a warm day.
