NV Quinta da Raza Vicinus Vinho Verde

Northern Portugal's vibrant character comes alive here. Quinta da Raza Vicinus Vinho Verde is crafted from indigenous Arinto, Azal, and Trajadura grown in the Basto sub-region, where granite soils and a warmer inland climate shape wines of remarkable freshness and precision. Fermented entirely in stainless steel, this dry white preserves bright fruit, crisp acidity, and a delicate natural spritz that makes Vinho Verde so irresistible. Every sip feels energetic, polished, and unmistakably Portuguese, offering exceptional versatility from aperitif to seafood feast.

Nose: Fresh aromas leap from the glass. Grapefruit, lime, green apple, and white peach mingle with delicate floral notes and a subtle mineral freshness that adds inviting complexity.

Palate: Lively and beautifully balanced. Bright citrus, crisp orchard fruit, and gentle tropical hints glide across the palate, supported by vibrant acidity and a faint, refreshing sparkle.

Finish: Clean, crisp, and wonderfully refreshing. Lingering lemon zest, wet stone, and mouthwatering minerality leave a bright finish that encourages another sip without overwhelming the palate.

Fresh seafood brings out its best. Pair it with oysters, grilled shrimp, clams, sushi, ceviche, light salads, goat cheese, or herb-roasted chicken. It also complements vegetable dishes and Mediterranean appetizers with effortless ease.
