white grape

Vinalho

Atlantic-influenced low hills of Portugal's Vinho Verde.

Known as: Vinhal, Assario

Vinalho is a lesser-known variety of Portugal's northwest, a patient, upright grape quietly used in the lively blends of Vinho Verde.

It adds a delicate floral note and gentle lemon bite, rarely seen solo but treasured by growers for structure and freshness.

For the buyer, Vinalho is a name to find inside great Vinho Verde blends — part of the region's subtle, refreshing typicity.
