Fâmega Vinho Verde

Refreshing, crisp with a tingly sparkle taste of apple tartness from the cool lucious Vinho Verde DOC region of North Western Portugal. Fâmega Vinho Verde has a delicate citrus flavor like the fragrance of a summer garden.

Pleasant and mellow, this young white wine will be the perfect accompaniment to all kinds of seafood, salads, mild cheeses, as an aperitif, or just by itself.

The alcohol content of Fâmega is 9.5% which makes it the ideal natural, low calorie white wine. The grapes used in making Fâmega are Avesso, Azal and Pedernã (known as Arinto in the Bucelas Region).

“...From Portugal, this is the wine to ice down with beer sodas for Summer fun in the sun. Low in alcohol, slightly spritzy, citrusy and bone dry, this is as refreshing as it gets. Great with light salads...”

The Wine Spectator
“...A good seafood wine. Dry and tart, but carrying enough apple and lemon flavors to make it lively and refreshing...”

The Wine & Spirits Magazine - 88pts
