About This Wine

Ciconia

Vinho Verde

This brilliant gold wine is one of our favorite new additions to the club and no stranger to high-praise. This wine has been written up in some of the best wine magazines on the planet. Wine & Spirits calls it “ideal for hot weather,” and Wine Advocate believes that the mineral streak makes it ideal for pairing with oysters and mussels. Our experts find it to be a very fresh, balanced wine with lively flavors of pineapple and peach on the palate. We've been loving the minerality and creaminess of the finish and think that is a great choice for pairing with seafood.

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.
