	Vinho Verde: the wines of Portugal's Costa Verde
		Vinho Verde is made in the DOC region, originally demarcated in 1908, in the Costa Verde region starting immediately north of Oporto and stretching north to the border.
		Vinho Verde, at least the good ones, is not as readily available; and there is not the same history of great estates.
		The grapes used in white vinho verde are the Alvarinho, Arinto or Pedernã, Avesso, Azal, Loureiro, and Trajadura.

	Food Network: The Drink Review - The Vinho Verde Secret
		Vinho Verde is made from a jumble of little-known grape varieties in the northern corner of Portugal.
		It's called "Vinho Verde," or "green wine," because the Portuguese habit is to drink it when it's super-young, or, metaphorically, green.
		Many of the Vinho Verdes on wine shop shelves are not as young as they should be, which means they won't have the bracing freshness they should.

	blind tasting club: Vinho Verde: a cult wine
		Vinho Verde is one of the wines which bear a mystery.
		In fact, Vinho Verde means “green wine”; and comes from the fact that the grapes are harvested slightly before maturity, but the wine itself isn’t greenish.
		But the truth is Vinho Verde isn’t even only white wine: Actually Vinho Verde is the name of the producing region (DOC) in which also red grapes are growing resulting in red and rosé Vinho Verdes’.

		Vinho Verde means "green wine," but it takes an active imagination to find more than a hint of green in this pale, clear and perhaps just barely brassy-colored quaff.
		For many years, Vinho Verde was rarely seen in most parts of the U.S., and when it did turn up on retail shelves, it was best to approach it warily.
		This is still true to some extent, as today's tasting attests: A 1998 Vinho Verde with more than a year in the bottle seemed dull and lacking the sprightliness that makes this wine special.

	Tasca da Elvira: Vinho Verde
		Toutefois, il existe des vinhos verdes bien supérieurs et plus chers, les "rolls" étant à mon avis les Alvarinho issus de la caste du même nom, aux longues bouteilles fuselées, dont le prestigieux et rare Palácio da Brejoeira gardé dans des bouteilles numérotées à la main (compter une vingtaine d'euros).
		Néanmoins, avec le vinho verde, bas prix ne signifie pas forcément piquette.
		Blanc ou rouge (mais le blanc est bien meilleur) le vinho verde est parfait pour accompagner fruits de mer, crustacés et poissons grillés ou être servi sur la terrasse, à l'apéritif, par les chaudes soirées d'été...

		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.
		This is a surprisingly sophisticated Vinho Verde and was quite good with the food.
