About This Wine


Bochechas

Vinho Branco

Our Bochechas Vinho Branco offers a cheerful taste of Portuguese sunlight. Its light palate bursts with crisp acidity, fresh stone fruit notes and mouthwatering minerality. This refreshing wine brightens any occasion, whether it be summer sunbathing or cool weather activities. Portugal has an abundance of native white grapes with flavors ranging from zesty citrus to tropical fruit. Warm sunshine and long summers allow grapes to ripen easily, while sea breezes keep them cool. Our winemaking partners blend to capture each variety's delicious characteristics. The final blend is an authentic taste of this sun-kissed destination. Embrace the adventure by pairing it with Portuguese favorites like seared octopus or clams drizzled with lemon juice. We are certain each sip will leave you feeling inspired to plan your next European getaway. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

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.
