Casa de Vila Nova

Floral, citrus and tropical aromas, deliciously off-dry with flavours of melon, sherbet lemon and a refreshing spritz.

Producer Information

Casa de Vila Nova is owned by the Lencastre family, of aristocratic Portuguese lineage. The land has been in their family since the 12th century - the ivy clad tower that still remains from that time is now surrounded by Vila Nova (new house) that was built in the 1700s, and the property was gradually extended over the centuries.

They now have around 42 hectares of vineyard and their vineyards are influenced by winds from the Atlantic Ocean - creating the perfect climate to ripen varieties such as Avesso, Loureiro and Alvarinho.

Wine Making

The Vinho Verde vineyards are exposed to the Atlantic Ocean winds and influence. Soils, microclimate, grape varieties and the unique characteristics of the wine culture, distinguish it from all other wine regions of the world. The grapes are harvested by hand in 20 kg boxes that are quickly transported to the winery where they are destemmed and soft pressed and temperature-controlled fermentation.

Tasting Note

Floral, citrus and gentle tropical aromas lead on to a palate which is deliciously off-dry with flavours of ripe melon and sherbet lemon acidity. The finish is refreshing with a classic spritz.

Food Matching

Great as an aperitif - or serve with salads, sushi and grilled fish.
