- Portugal > Minho
- Loureiro

If you want something light, crisp with zippy freshness, then look no further. Full of white stone fruit and floral flavours, this Vinho Verde slips down and with it's low ABV, you won't feel guilty.
COLIN'S NOTE
The annual rainfall in this part of Portugal is higher than Newcastle (but I wouldn't recommend start making this wine in t'up north just yet).
IN SHORT
Your fresh, dry, crisp go-to
LUA CHEIA
Lua Cheia-Saven may have started in reverse, but it’s now one of Portugal’s fastest-rising names. With vineyards across Douro, Vinho Verde, Dão and Alentejo, and winemaker Francisco Baptista at the helm, they’ve built a reputation for smart, great-value wines that overdeliver. Throw in the odd ocean-aged experiment and you’ve got a producer that’s credible, creative and right up our street.
