The Chardonnay Glass was designed for enjoying full-bodied white wines. They have a wider bowl and a tapered top to enhance the buttery and oaky notes found in aged wines. The wide bowl steers the wine to the sensitive parts of the tongue, ensuring that the acidity creates a harmonious balance with the sweet aromas of the wine. The wide bowl allows the full bouquet of aromas to develop. It also reduces the risk for over-concentrated aromas. |
Minho is the largest wine region in Portugal, producing nearly 100 million liters of Vinho Verde every year.
Vinho Verde wines often have a small sparkling sensation that enhances the taste and freshness.
Portugal is a great Rosé Wine nation. The cool climate in Minho gives good freshness to Rosé Wines.
