2025 Quinta Da Lixa, Vinhão, Morgado Da Vila, Vinho Verde, Portugal

A vibrant, deeply pigmented ruby-red wine featuring intense aromas of fresh wild blackberries, dark forest berries, and balsamic notes. It offers a fresh, medium-bodied palate characterized by high natural acidity, soft texture, and a lingering, slightly astringent finish. An excellent option for a chillable red too!

Vinho Verde, in north-western Portugal, is a region of rivers and mountains, valleys and plains. Granite soils influence both the vines and the architecture in the region.

Vinhão is a rare grape in other parts of the world, but the most planted, deep-purple grape in Portugal known for its colored pulp, piercing acidity, and rustic wild berry flavors that perfectly cut through rich, fatty dishes.

Quinta da Lixa is a modern, state of the art facility, with winemaker Carlos Teixera at the helm. Beyond making wines that express its exceptional terroir, Quinta da Lixa prioritizes conservation and eco-stewardship. The entire vineyard area, 105 hectares, is managed via an Integrated Production System. Natural methods are also preferred in the cellar, for example using gravity for the passage of wine (rather than electricity).
