The Quinta de Santa Cristina winery is located in the Vinho Verde growing area in northern Portugal, in the district braga Due to the high location of the vineyards at approx. 400m, there is a relatively cool climate here, which is ideal for the production of fresh white wines.
The Pinto family started professional wine production here in 2004 and is now considered one of the best producers in the region. 70% of the harvest is drunk in Portugal, 30% is exported.
This Vinho Verde from Quinta de Santa Cristina is made from the Alvarinho grape varieties, which enjoys the reputation of being one of the highest quality varieties and the Trajadura variety, which is related to the Artinto, that gives body to the wine. Aromatically, this delicious white wine is reminiscent of apples, pears, peaches and citrus fruits. With its 12.5% alcohol it belongs to the fuller Vinho Verde types, the acidity is ripe, the taste profile is harmonious and lively at the same time. A very good Vinho Verde for the discerning.
The Alvarinho / Trajadura Vinho Verde is particularly suitable as a terrace wine or with summer salads, vegetable dishes, fish and seafood.
