Producer Info

Owner António Lopes is as hands-on as they come, and spends most of his time side by side in the cellar with his two winemakers Antonio Ventura and Rafael Neuparth.

About the Wine

Grapes grown in granitic soil.
A slight spritz makes this fun and refreshing. Also low alcohol for those looking to cut back.
Vidigal was recently The New York Times/Eric Asimov’s most highly recommended Vinho Verde!

Tasting Notes

A lively pink color. Floral hints complement touches of strawberry and redcurrant. Balanced in the mouth with good acidity and fresh fruit notes. Enjoy with grilled fish, elaborate salads, and light meat dishes, or as an apéritif.
