Quinta da Raza, Vinho Verde Branco, Minho, Portugal

Diogo and his wife Mafalda farm 40 hectares of vineyards in Celorico do Basto, a rugged mountainous region of southern Vinho Verde. The Quinta has been in Diogo's family since 1791 and has been pushing the boundaries of what has come to be expected from the region, promoting single varietal wines from their estate's tradition varieties such as Padeiro and Azal as well as embracing sustainability at their core and were the first estate in Vinho Verde to obtain the 'Sustainable Winegrowing, Portugal' certification.

Their Vinho Verde Branco is a blend of native grape varieties, Arinto, Azal and Trajadura, hand harvested, destemmed and pressed into stainless steel for fermentation. It's light and fruity with fresh apples and citrus and a little of the classic vinho verde spritz. Perfect chilled on it's own on a hot day.
