	The Real Vinho Verde \| Articles \| Wine Enthusiast Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Vinho Verde comes from northern Portugal, from the region known as the Minho, which is named for the river that separates Portugal from Spain’s Galicia province.
		The Alvarinho, which is the most expensive and sought-after of the grapes in the blend, produces the most powerful, rich wines, packed with aromas and flavor.
		Wines from what is now the Vinho Verde DOC were being exported to Britain in the 17th century, from the port of Viana do Castello, long before the Douro and Port wines were shipped from Oporto.

	Alfama - Fine Portuguese Cuisine
		The one exception is the wines made from 100% Alvarinho, the noble grape varietal in the region.
		But in general, Vinhos Verdes are lighter, refreshing, possessing a crisp, fruity character and are bottled with a slight pétillance or sparkle.
		Luscious is the best word to describe this Alvarinho -- full bodied, with a complex and intense nose of exotic and tropical fruits (lichee, green apples and honeysuckle) which are also reflected on the palate, leading a long, delicious finish.

		The Alvarinho caste is a caste of election, the "wine of paradise" for many people.
		The grapes are selected when they arrive to the Cellar, on the basics of their alcoholic richness and sanitary condition.
		Alvarinho is a very personalized wine that stands out among thers due to its balance, its citrine colour, its characteristics and unique fruited flavour, mouth-full and pleasantly mouth-persistent.

		In the northwest corner of Portugal, on the Atlantic coast between the city of Porto and the Spanish region known as Galicia, is the wine-growing district known as Vinho Verde (VEEN-yo VER-day).
		One of my favorites, Alvarinho Solar de Serrade, has interesting notes of what seems like kumquat and mint, with the fizzy nature almost imitating a white pepper spice on the finish.
		If you insist on something grilled to have with your white Vinho Verde, throw some cherrystone clams on the grill, then when the pop open, drizzle a little butter in them, return them to the grill until the butter simmers, then pull them off and chow down.

	Alvarinho Soalheiro 2001/2003 from António Estêves Ferreira : Magellan Wine, Wines of Discovery! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		This is a vinho verde, but don’t make the mistake of tarring it with same brush as the spritzy, off-dry and disappointing rubbish that is often associated with the term.
		Made from Alvarinho grapes in a region close to the sea it is no coincidence that this excellent, fresh white reflects the local cuisine so well.
		With its peachy edge, an ethereal essence of jasmine (characteristic of Alvarinho, but often lacking in wines made from it) and vibrant steely acidity it is just about the perfect partner for seafood and fish, so get some langoustines under the grill and enjoy pure wine and food heaven.

	Cool and refreshing, vinho verde is hot
		It translates as "green wine," not from its color, which is more like white grapefruit juice, but because it's fresh, comes from a particularly verdant area in northwest Portugal and is made to be consumed within a year of being made.
		Vinho verde is the ancient, traditional wine from Portugal, made nowhere else, of grapes with names like alvarinho, loureiro, trajadura and pederna, which even when fully ripe produce only about 11 percent alcohol instead of the usual 12 percent or more.
		The vinho verde area north of Oporto is so pretty that boosters have set up a Vinho Verde Route, filled with vineyards, historical landmarks, hotels, restaurants and other attractions that is popular with tourists (see http://rota.vinhoverde.pt).

		White wine lovers the world over have recently discovered that Spanish wines based on the Albariño grape are a magical combination with all manner of seafood (steamed, grilled or flened fish, oysters, clams and shellfish).
		To produce Dorado's 2002 Alvarinho Superior, the winemaking methods employed by Dorado and Abal are similar to those utilized by the best white Burgundy growers from the Mâconnais or Chablis regions rather than the Cote d’Or, since no oak is used for aging.
		Dorado was granted a new appellation "Alvarinho Superior" though the official Region is Vinho Verde.

		The appellation Vinho Verde covers a large region in northwest Portugal between the river Minho to the north and the river Douro to the south.
		The soil, climate, and grape varieties contribute to the wines' acidity, and it would appear that one of the winemakers' objectives is to encourage a secondary malolactic fermentation in the bottle, which gives these wines their bite and slight fizz.

		Vinho Verde, Portugal's light, fresh "green wine," is typically drunk all summer long and forgotten by the first frost.
		Though not technically a Vinho Verde for reasons lost on everyone but local administrators, it's made from the same grapes (Alvarinho and Trajadura) grown in the same area (the Minho).
		It's a Vinho Verde to enjoy into winter, especially now, when kales, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and other hearty greens are flooding the markets.

	AH, ALBARINO!
		It was also bone dry, but that didn't set it apart from other Vinho Verdes in Portugal - it's the ones sent to the United States which are disappointingly off-dry.
		My experience with Albarino and Alvarinho is more limited than I would like, but I would venture to say that the difference between the Spanish and Portuguese products is somewhat like the difference between Riesling as made in Germany and Alsace.
		They tasted remarkably alike, though the Alvarinho was very slightly more perfumed and the Albarino had a touch more weight.

		Vinho Verde comes from the Costa Verde ("Green Coast") on Portugal's northwest shoulder, bordering Spain and the Atlantic.
		It's made from a variety of grapes, but those made from Alvarinho - like this one - are generally considered the best.
		FOOD MATCH: Wines made from the Alvarinho grape (which their Spanish neighbors call Albarino) are made to go with seafood, and this one was a perfect match with shrimp scampi-style, pan-grilled with olive oil and lemon.

		The 2004 Gazela Vinho Verde is made by Aveleda, probably the most famous name in Vinho Verde (both labels are sold by Sogrape - the parent company).

	San Francisco Examiner: Entertainment
		Grown in the calcium-enriched vineyards of Rias Baixas on the Galician coast and in the Vinho Verde region of Portugal (where it is called Alvarinho), Albariño is crisp, with floral, peach and citrus characteristics, it is a perfect accompaniment for the mouth watering seafood that is found in these areas.
		Alvarinho, 2003 (Vinho Verde, Portugal) — Quinta do Dorado's Alvarinho undergoes partial malolactic fermentation, the conversion of malic acid to lactic acid, resulting in enhanced richness and body.
		With chalk and citrus aromas, and lime and tart kiwi flavors, this wine is an absolute delight and will stand up to full-flavored fish dishes as well as a satisfying but simple cheese omelet.
