Wine Description
Casa De Compostela Vinho Verde is typically a white wine with a pale straw colour, sometimes showing subtle greenish hints, reflecting its characteristic freshness. The varietal composition for the Vinho Verde often includes a blend of indigenous grapes like Loureiro, Arinto, and Trajadura. Other varieties sometimes used are Alvarinho, Pedernã, and Fernão Pires. The wine is fresh, harmonious, and fruity. On the palate, it offers a refreshing burst of flavour with primary notes of citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, alongside floral nuances and sometimes a touch of seaside.
Food Pairing
Suggested pairings include seafood, particularly fish tacos with mango salsa, lighter grilled chicken dishes, and spicy food.
