If this Vinho Verde were a person, I imagine him as the kind of guy you’d meet on a hot summer day at a secluded beach in a hidden cove. I see a young, athletic man — dark hair, sun-kissed skin—with the effortless grace of a surfer. He jogs along the shore, not to be noticed, but because it’s as natural to him as breathing. And yet, whether he intends to or not, the gazes of others are irresistibly drawn to him. It’s not that he’s trying to impress. It’s simply his natural charisma, hovering in the air like a gentle sea breeze.

His presence is fresh and invigorating, just like the Vinho Verde itself. As I hold the glass, I immediately sense its lightness and the floral aroma that evokes the first breath of a salty breeze. There’s a hint of citrus — like a cool splash of lemon water that hits you at just the right moment. Then, the finish: elegant, salty, juicy. It lingers with me, much like the image of that beachgoer, who with his balance of energy and calm leaves an impression on my mind that I won’t soon forget.

This Vinho Verde is the perfect seducer — not because it’s loud or ostentatious, but because it knows exactly what it has to offer without ever overdoing it. It’s light on its feet yet sophisticated, ideal for summer, but with a certain depth.

The 2023 Vinho Verde from Quinta Do Ermizio is a wine that captures the soul of summer. Youthful, fresh, and full of life. A wine for savoring moments.
