Arguably the most famous white wine from Northern Portugal is Vinho Verde (“Green Wine”) from the Minho region in the far north of the country. The other dominant region in Northern Portugal is Douro, which is home to some fabulous port wines.
Northern Portugal is big Alvarinho country, and the wonderfully crisp, almost effervescent Vinho Verde is most commonly made from this grape.
Northern Portugal is known for cheap, refreshing white wines in the coastal areas, and beautiful ports and red table wines inland in the higher ground.
White wine from this region tends to showcase a lot of citrus and, given the close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, a lot of minerality. Vinho Verde is known for often having a light carbonation that tends to be added after the fermentation.
Wines from these regions are cheap and often represent excellent value for money! The wines live for seafood and go excellently with some cod, a fresh fish taco or a shrimp salad.
