Conde Villar, Vinho Verde 2024

The estate behind Conde Villar crafts Vinho Verde from the lush, Atlantic-influenced vineyards of Northern Portugal. Their focus is creating crisp, lively whites that reflect the region’s freshness and maritime climate, maintaining tradition with modern winemaking precision to deliver easy-drinking wines with real personality. Pale straw-gold with a delicate, slightly frothy mousse. On the nose: lime zest, green apple, wild white flowers and a hint of wet stone. The palate is bright and zippy: citrus and green apple mingle with fresh acidity and a gentle mineral streak, finishing lightly spritzy and refreshing. A perfect aperitif or companion to shellfish, sardines or light salads.
