Tasting Notes
This is a chiselled glass of white you could only thank us for, perfect with fresh crunchy salads, grilled fish or simply on its own. Luis’ vineyards are on soils of granite with clay, only 20kms from the ocean. This is a structured and round Vinho Verde, with saline notes, oyster shells, lime and quince.
More Info
Luis Cerdeira is synomous with Vinho Verde since as a young man he joined his father who started the Soalheiro wine estate in 1982. Now that Luis's own son Manuel is a young man he wanted to do the same thing for him, and together they have started a winery called Vine Vinu, which means from vine to glass, to explore different terroirs. They have two - one which is coastal made in Requiao, which is 20km form the sea - and one which is in the mountains in Melgaco. They are bottling them separately.
