Aveleda Fonte Vinho Verde, Portugal


Aveleda Fonte is a fresh, fruity wine that offers snap to any occasion! Citrus notes and refreshing acidity are seamless and cascade to a pleasing finish!

A vivacious and smooth white Vinho Verde that can be the perfect match for light meals, seafood or served as an appetizer.

Vinho Verde is a Portuguese wine from the Minho region in the far north of the country. The name literally means "Green Wine" (red or white), referring to its youthful freshness rather than its color. Many of the growers train their vines high off the ground, up trees, fences, and even telephone poles so that they can cultivate vegetable crops below the vines that their families may use as a food source.
