Portugal is home to more than 250 indigenous grape varieties, and most of them can only be found there. The country has also a great diversity of regions, climates and cultural practices, increasing, even more, the range of wine styles that can be explored by the curious wine lover.
Vinho Verde (directly translated as 'green wine') is a young Portuguese wine from the DOC (origin protected) "Vinho Verde" region in the far north of Portugal, which includes the original 1908 Minho Province plus adjacent areas to the south.
Russet in colour with brilliant crimson highlights and a fragrant, ripe-fruit bouquet. Its smooth, silky texture and subtle oak nuances are balanced by a fresh acidity and tannic "grip" that culminate in a long, elegant, plumy finish
Assaz means "in good measure (of) quality and quantity". Elegant, fresh and vibrant. The characteristic Vinho Verde 'sparkle' of these wines brings vibrancy through the balance of acidity and alcohol. Versatile and easy to drink.
Clean and mineral aromas, velvety on the palate with very good acidity, leading to notes of lime and green apple. Fresh and intense, complex and rich. Well suited to white meats as well as sushi.
Deep ruby colour. The elegant and stylish nose combines fresh, intense blackcurrant and cherry aromas with subtle notes of liquorice and spice. On the palate the rich and concentrated black fruit flavour is supported by firm but well integrated tannins. True to the Taylor’s style the wine shows great balance and finesse.
