Fresh, lemony and stony-fresh Vinho Verde from a terrific Portuguese winemaker – in miniature
Vinho Verde today is one of Portugal's most exciting whites, the best singing with stony citrus freshness and delicate zingy fruit. Winemaker for Cascata is Vasco Martins. Here he weaves his magic with top Vinho Verde grapes to make this crisp white.
For a really appetising white, with a classic touch of spritz and low ABV, reach for a bottle of Vinho Verde. Its style has evolved greatly since the ’70s, when winemakers would sweeten the wines for added appeal. Today they are super zingy-fresh and dry, especially in the hands of the talented Vasco Martins. The region lies in Portugal's NW corner and, close to the Atlantic, is one of its dampest. This only adds to the thirst-quenching freshness of its whites. One of the area's top grapes is Loureiro, some call it the 'Riesling of Portugal'. It brings lemony finesse and minerality, while a little Trajadura adds ripe pear and blossom notes and Avesso, grapefruit, peach and almond. With its light spritz, it's great solo or with seafood.
