The landscape of rolling hills and picturesque valleys is dotted with local wineries called quintas. Portugal is home to many indigenous grape varieties and distinct wine styles, including light and bright white blends like our Vinho Branco. This flavor-filled blend balances sweet fruit and intriguing spice. Complex yet playful, this white blend is a great way to discover a new favorite while switching up your wine routine. To experience each nuance at its best, serve this bottle well chilled alongside salty cheeses, roasted chicken, or fresh fruit salad.

WINE REGION:
Portugal
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.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Ĝenerala Paixão
Ĝenerala Paixão is named after someone who was a bit of an anomaly: Maria Teresinha Gomes. We chose La Ĝenerala as a symbol of our Red and White Portuguese wines because while we know the varietals in our blends, the law does not permit us to divulge them. We celebrate this secret life with a wink and a nod to those in the know.
