Vinho Verde
Casa de Villa Nova
The Winery
Casa de Vila Nova is located in the sub-region of Sousa, the Vinho Verde Demarcated Region, in the North of Portugal. These lands are exposed to the Atlantic Ocean winds and influence. Soils, microclimate, grape varieties and the unique characteristics of the wine culture, distinguish it from all other wine regions of the world. The grapes are harvested by hand in 20 kg boxes that are quickly transported to the winery where they are destemmed and soft pressed and temperature-controlled fermentation.
The Wine
Floral, citrus and gentle tropical aromas lead on to a palate with sherbet lemon acidity, a touch of mango and a bright mineral finish.
The Food
Great as an aperitif – or serve with salads, sushi or grilled fish
