Minho (Vinho Verde)
Written By Philippa Kelly
“Vinho Verde” is one of the world’s largest delimitated wine regions, covering some 7000 square kilometres in the Minho province. It has a strong geographic, climatic and cultural identity, explaining why “Vinho Verde” is regarded as Portugal’s most original wine. Humid, fertile, with granitic soils and mild temperatures influenced by the Atlantic winds, the region seems to be painted with all the greens in the palette.
