Minho Wines

Minho is the northmost wine region in Portugal. Minho wines, especially those from Vinho Verde DOC, are known for their crisp acidity, light body and slightly fizzy texture. The key grape varieties used to make Minho wines include Alvarinho, Avesso, Loureiro, Pedernã (Arinto) and Trajadura. Chardonnay and Riesling are the most common international white varieties. Alvarelhao, Azal Tinto, Espadeiro and Caino Tinto dominate the Minho red wine scene along with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
