The Minho wine region in Portugal is renowned for its vibrant Vinho Verde, characterized by crisp acidity and a refreshing, often slightly effervescent quality. Key grape varieties like Albariño, Trajadura, and Loureiro impart flavors of green apple, citrus, and floral notes. Sub-regions such as Monção and Melgaço excel in ripe, aromatic wines. This area boasts a winemaking tradition dating back to Roman times, making it a fascinating blend of history and taste.
