Portugal’s Largest Wine Region!

However, did you know that Vinho Verde is actually the name of an entire Portuguese wine region, a region that makes more types of wines than what we just described? That’s right, a Vinho Verde is most likely a white but can be a rosê or even a red.

Vinho Verde sits in Portugal’s northwest corner bordered by the Altantic on its western edge. it shares the same geographical area as the Minho region and is the largest wine region in Portugal. It is a region of rivers with thousands of small vineyard plots concentrated along the rivers’ valleys.
