Vinho Verde with more depth
Vinho Verde often conjures up the image of a light, crisp Portuguese white wine. Portal da Calcada Reserva 2021 demonstrates that the region can also produce a wine with extra body and gastronomic potential. Its fresh character remains recognizable, but the Reserva version invites you to linger a little longer over the glass.
The Story of the Vintage
The Vinho Verde region is located in the lush northwest of Portugal, where Atlantic influences play a significant role in viticulture. The 2021 harvest forms the basis of this Reserva. Its style demonstrates that white wine from Vinho Verde doesn’t have to be exclusively light and simple, but can also offer structure and gastronomic potential.
Character and Style
Citrus, white fruit, and a refined, crisp profile define its character. The wine has enough structure to be enjoyed as more than just an aperitif. The balance between fruit, acidity, and length makes it an appealing choice for those who enjoy serving Portuguese white wine with a meal.
At the table and in the glass
Serve chilled with grilled fish, shellfish, or a light Mediterranean dish. Let the wine breathe in the glass so the various aromas can unfold. For those who know Portugal mainly for its Port and red Douro wines, this Vinho Verde is a lovely reminder of the country’s versatility.
