Review

This Vale dos Pombos (Valley of the Pigeons) Vinho Verde is an established and reliable favourite in the UK, made from a classic blend of Loureiro, Trajadura and Arinto grapes and still very good value at around £6 per bottle.

The wine comes of course with a satisfying fine spritz accompanied by a big and sweet-sour flavours of pear, apples and almonds enlivened with lime and a dry mineral finish.  For some it may be a little on the acidic side, in which case you might prefer the Tesco Vinho Verde, but for many this will satisfy entirely.  And on a hot day, this is the perfect picnic wine.

The Co-op tells us this is a vegetarian wine but it’s not on the label.

Makers Notes

The Trajadura and Arinto grapes give it length and body, as well as the aromas of apple and grapefruit.  The Loureiro variety confers it a floral and aromatic herbal expression, bringing a lively fresh character, well suited to it having a slight touch of sparkle.
