Minho Valley, Portugal

Minho is Portugal's northernmost wine region, known for one wine style above all others: crisp, light, white Vinho Verde. Located on the Portugal's Atlantic coast to the north and east of Porto, it occupies a roughly rectangular area about 60 miles from north to south, which reaches about 30 miles inland. The key grape varieties to be found in white Minho wines are Alvarinho, Avesso, Loureiro, Pederna (Arinto) and Trajadura. Their red counterparts are based on Alvarelhao, Espadeiro, Caino Tinto and the globally popular Cabernet Sauvignon.
