If there is a season where fish and shellfish gain even more relevance, it is in the summer! And Vinho Verde wine fits like a glove in the freshest menus of this season. Here is a careful selection of aromas that are more suitable for that lunch or dinner you have in mind. 

When preparing a meal, the choice of drinks to accompany each moment must be careful and not the result of chance. A bad choice can ruin the whole experience.

And when it comes to vinho verde, one thing is certain: these delicate wines love to be surrounded by light delicacies. Fish and shellfish are therefore the obvious choice that nature - in its perfection - allows. Both the seafood and the fish most appreciated in our Portuguese gastronomy have unique characteristics that fit in with the personality ofnational vinho verde wines .

Being light dishes, you can only get the most out of the pleasure of tasting through the combination of nectars which do not obscure the flavour, but bring something more to it and enable the sensations the palate receives in each moment.

It's also the result of this combination that you get the best out of every sip, which you want to take your time and appreciate every detail!
