The Minho appellation, located in the north of Portugal, is recognised for its quality wines classified under Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). This region is renowned for producing fresh and aromatic wines, benefiting from an oceanic climate with Atlantic influences that favour the cultivation of particular grape varieties. Minho is especially famous for Vinho Verde, a young and lively wine that can be white, red, or rosé. Among the white grape varieties, Alvarinho and Loureiro stand out with their floral and fruity aromas, whilst the red wines benefit from the characteristics of the Vinhão grape. The granitic soils of the region contribute to the minerality and complexity of the wines produced. Thanks to environmentally friendly viticultural practices, Minho remains true to its heritage while adopting modern techniques to enhance the quality of its wines. The Minho appellation offers wine enthusiasts a unique experience, where the blend of tradition and innovation creates wines that reflect the authenticity and diversity of this winemaking region of Portugal.
