Raw Bar Vinho Verde Description
The name says it all – this is the wine equivalent of a perfect day at the raw bar, minus the need to shuck anything yourself. Raw Bar is a Portuguese wine inspired by life on the coast. As the name implies, it pairs well with all seafood and shellfish but also stands alone as a refreshing sip on a hot summer day. When you think of Raw Bar, think of afternoon soirées, good friends, lively conversation, and a crisp wine-drinking experience.
What makes this bottle particularly brilliant is how it captures everything people love about Vinho Verde without any of the fuss. The Trajadura and Arinto varieties give it body and length, as well as aromas of apple and grapefruit. The Loureiro variety confers a floral and aromatic expression of herbs, bringing a lively, fresh character that is well suited to a slight touch of sparkle. At just 9.5% alcohol, it’s the kind of wine that lets people enjoy multiple glasses without regretting life choices the next morning.
Raw Bar Vinho Verde is made for seafood feasts, dockside dinners, and sunlit afternoons by the water, basically, any time someone wants to feel like they’re on vacation, even if they’re sitting on their back porch dreaming about the ocean.
