The Demarcated Region of Vinho Verde is located in the northwest of Portugal in an area traditionally known as Entre-Douro-e-Minho. Its limits are the Minho River in the North (border with Galicia), the mountainous areas in the East and South, forming the natural border between the Atlantic Entre-Douro-e-Minho and the Mediterranean inland regions,
The vineyards are located in loam soils, of mild texture and well drained, offering excellent sun exposure, granting its grapes a golden color, easily reaching full maturation - soils are primarily coarse granite, imparting complex minerality to the wines. Hence its wines are among the best of the entire region
Vinho Verde is the regional designation applied to wines from the Minho region in North Western Portugal. “Vinho Verde” literally means “young wine”, and most of the wines from this region are made from grapes that are not fully ripe, to retain additional acidity and some natural carbonation.
