Fifth Empire

Vinho Verde Loureiro & Alvarinho

The Destino Fifth Empire is a refreshing white wine hailing from the Vinho Verde region. This blend of Loureiro and Alvarinho grapes creates a harmonious dance of flavors that transport you into a world of crisp, clean notes with a touch of zesty citrus. The wine embodies a light body that effortlessly glides across the palate, accompanied by a delicate acidity that adds a lively kick to every sip. The fruit intensity shines through with a delightful mix of orchard fruits and a hint of tropical essence. The overall dryness of the wine leaves a clean, mouthwatering finish that beckons another taste.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
