Mapreco - Vinho Verde 2022 | Monsieur Touton Selection

Description

Vinho Verde comes from a small region in Northern Portugal in the historic Minho province known for its super-value whites, reds, and rosés. These wines are loved for mouth-zapping acidity, subtle carbonation, and lower alcohol, making them a great choice for summer. The name literally means "green wine," but translates as "young wine", with wine being released three to six months after the grapes are harvested.

Food pairing

Great as an aperitif or with appetizers, shellfish, vegetarian dishes or snacks. More specific pairings include green salads with goat cheese and herbs, caprese of tomatoes and mozzarella or grilled vegetables.

Tasting notes

This classic and refreshing Vinho Verde features a bright and fruity character with apple, citrus and pear notes. With just the right amount of effervescence and a medium length finish is a perennial favorite. Delicious!

Bottle

Since 2009 all Mapreco wines have been produced with eco-friendly bottles. The reduction of glass in the bottles, provides a reduction in power consumption and in the utilization of raw materials, besides contributing to the environment. Besides using fewer raw materials in their production, the use of these bottles reduces the emission of gas during the wine transportation.

Vineyards

The vines for Mapreco are farmed with ecological methods including soil conservation and biodiversity maintenance to protect the environment.
