The Minho appellation is located in the north of Portugal, a region renowned for its unique wine heritage and production of high-quality table wines (Vinho de mesa). While it is predominantly known as the birthplace of the famous Vinho Verde, Minho offers a range of wines that captivate with their freshness and vivacity. The ideal climatic conditions, marked by Atlantic influences and granite soils, create an exceptional terroir for vine cultivation. The most commonly used grape varieties include Alvarinho, Loureiro, and Trajadura, which produce light, citrusy white wines that are often slightly sparkling. Additionally, Minho's reds, though less well-known, are also noteworthy, providing fruity flavours and a smooth texture. These wines pair perfectly with seafood, fish dishes, and traditional Portuguese cuisine. For wine enthusiasts seeking to deepen their knowledge or enrich their cellar, exploring Minho wines is a journey rich in sensory and cultural discoveries.
