The #1 Vinho Verde in the World — Casal Garcia White is a wine from Portugal's Vinho Verde region, embodying the freshness and brightness of the region. Its aromatic splendor is revealed through soft hints of tropical fruits and zesty citrus, creating a lively sun-filled profile. A sunshine wine that captures the essence of a day by the sea, with vibrant citrus and tropical notes that echo the ocean breeze and the warmth of the sunlit coast. Winemaking process: From selected producers in the Vinho Verde region, the finest grapes from the main varieties of the area are brought to Aveleda's winemaking center. Upon arrival at the center, the grapes undergo gentle pressing at low pressure, followed by alcoholic fermentation carried out at controlled temperatures, between 16° and 18°C. Before bottling, the wine is carefully filtered and stabilized through cold temperatures.
