Vinho Verde
Vinho Verde
Long overshadowed by its mass-market image, Vinho Verde is quietly producing some of Portugal’s most refined white wines. In the granitic soils of Monção and Melgaço, Alvarinho reaches its highest expression — dry, mineral, and driven by Atlantic freshness. Loureiro, too, offers a floral, citrus-edged elegance from sites further south. These are fine, age-worthy wines with texture, balance, and a clear sense of place. For those who value purity over power, Vinho Verde is a region to watch — and to drink.

A bright, Atlantic-tinged Alvarinho from the northern edge of Portugal, Conde Villar 2024 captures the freshness and precision that make Vinho Verde’s top whites so compelling. Grown in granite soils and picked at peak ripeness, it’s a wine that overdelivers for the price.
