Why You'll Love It

Vinho Verde is one of the world's great warm-weather wine styles, and Patusco captures everything that makes it so appealing. Slightly petillant, low in alcohol at 11%, and bursting with citrus freshness, it is the kind of bottle that disappears quickly and leaves everyone wanting more. Whether you are serving it as an aperitif or pairing it with food, it is hard to find a more versatile or crowd-pleasing white wine at this price.

Vineyard & Production

Sourced from vineyards in the Amarante sub-region of the Vinho Verde DOC, where the Atlantic-influenced climate and granite soils produce grapes of natural freshness and aromatic intensity. The selected grapes are destemmed and pressed, with the juice decanted by gravity before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is stabilised and filtered before bottling to preserve its clean, vibrant character.

Tasting Notes

Citrus yellow in colour with greenish hints. The nose is fruity and fresh with intense citric notes. On the palate, it is slightly petillant, fresh, and balanced with a lively acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. Best served well chilled.

Perfect Pairings

The ideal companion for light, fresh meals including seafood, salads, grilled fish, and pasta. Also excellent as an aperitif or alongside mild cheeses and light tapas.
