Origin
Santola Vinho Verde is produced in the Vinho Verde region of northern Portugal, known for its cool Atlantic climate and unique terroir that contributes to the wine's fresh and vibrant character.
Variety
This Vinho Verde is typically a blend of indigenous Portuguese grape varieties common to the region, such as Loureiro, Alvarinho, and Trajadura, which provide aromatic complexity and crisp acidity.
Production
The grapes are harvested early to preserve natural acidity and freshness. The wine undergoes controlled fermentation at low temperatures to enhance aromatic expression. It is bottled with a slight natural effervescence characteristic of Vinho Verde wines, contributing to its lively mouthfeel.
