🌊 Coastal Wines

Summer’s nearly here and with it is a new crispy light white, perfect for patio partying, outdoor oysters, sunny snacking and everything in between. Vinho Verde is synonymous with fresh, citrussy, bright and light white wine and it simply cannot be beat on a hot day.

A blend of indigenous Portuguese varieties, this wine proves a pleasant pairing for sushi, ceviche, salads, fish dishes and more. If you’re hunting for a new staple that doesn’t break the bank and you haven’t already explored our newly-expanded Portuguese selection of wines, this is a Vera good reason to check it out.
