Quinta do Ermízio Vinho Verde, 2025

Fuzzy summer peach, hyacinth, lime pulp, melon sorbet. Palate is playful with tropical papaya and stone fruits. Winemaking in between the Douro and Minho rivers has a long history, dating back to antiquity. The northern part of this region, called Vinho Verde is known for its fresh, thirst-quenching, low-alcohol wines. The Quinta, established in 1984 is currently owned by retired horticulture professor, Antonio A. Monteiro. The vineyards are lush and green, farmed in traditional methods, largely organic with vines trained in pergolas to protect from humidity. Hand harvested Loureiro & Trajadura; Native yeast fermentation, minimal cellar work.
