Casal Mendes Vinho Verde from Bacalhôa (formerly Aliança) is a classic white wine from Portugal's northern Vinho Verde region, made from indigenous grape varieties. Fresh, lively, and slightly off-dry, it captures the bright character of this iconic Portuguese style. This is authentic Vinho Verde with delicate citrus aromas, a soft rounded palate, and the characteristic light spritz that makes the style so refreshing.

Why You'll Love It

This is classic Vinho Verde from one of Portugal's most respected producers. Bacalhôa (formerly Aliança) has been crafting quality Portuguese wines for generations, and this Vinho Verde showcases the region's indigenous grape varieties - Azal Branco, Pederna, and Trajadura. The grapes are harvested from two carefully selected vineyards in the Vinho Verde region, focusing on varieties that express the area's distinctive character. The gentle pressing and cool fermentation at 16°C for seven days preserves the wine's freshness and delicate aromatics. The result is a wine with delicate citrus aromas, soft rounded palate, subtle off-dry edge, and the characteristic light spritz that makes Vinho Verde so refreshing and versatile.
