The demarcated Vinho Verde Wine Region, the largest in Portugal, was defined in 1908 and extends across the area known as Entre-Douro-e-Minho, i.e. between the Douro and Minho Rivers in the north of the country, which tends to be green and fertile all year round and slightly cooler than some other wine regions such as the Alentejo or Douro, although there are many microclimates within the region. There are several types of aguardente in Portugal – if it has no other word associated with it, it refers to the spirit most often used to fortify wines like port or Madeira wine.

I'm a french Norman who is passionate about wines & spirits. I turned my career into it because I really believe in it. My first link with wine was when I was young, and I used to accompany my dad to choose a bottle from our cellar for friends and family dinners. So my link to wine is to share it! In many wineries, bottles of espumante are still turned by hand – I learned about the full process of producing espumante using traditional methods on a visit to Muganheira winery near Lamego. You may think that there are already so many kinds of wine on this list – however, we have to mention vinho verde! While the name translates directly as ‘green wine,’ vinho verde actually refers to wine made in the Vinho Verde region in Portugal’s north.
