The Vinho Verde region is composed of the subregions DOC Vinho Verde and Vinho Regional Do Minho.

Vinho Verde in the cool, rainy, green northwest is Portugal's largest wine region. Vines grow here in fertile granite soils along the Minho and Douro rivers, which rise in the mountains to the east and make their way until they eventually flow into the Atlantic. One might think that Portugal's northwest is wrapped in a lush, green "mantle." From Melgaço to Vale de Cambra and from Esposende to the granite-gray mountains in Basto on the border with Trás-os-Montes, the landscape is one of undulating ups and downs without extreme heights or vast plains. Here and there, small towns and villages punctuate the landscape. This fertile land is the birthplace of the eponymous Vinho Verde. From this wonderful region with its regional grape varieties comes a unique white wine. Light, fresh, young and wonderfully aromatic, Vinho Verde can be drunk on all occasions: a sunny picnic, a fancy meal in a restaurant, a romantic night in ... Vinho Verde is perfect with salads, fish, seafood, vegetable dishes, citrus sauces and Asian food.
