Casal Garcia Vinho Verde Branco 2020

Notes of citrus are amongst the fruity aromas that define the freshness and youth of this limpid and delicate wine. Because of its freshness, Casal Garcia is particularly agreeable in friendly and relaxed atmospheres. Ideal as an aperitif or to accompany oriental dishes, such as sushi and sashimi, seafood in lemon sauce or salads with cheese such as Roquefort.

Casal Garcia was born in 1939, a year in which the vintage was particularly good. Returning by train from the grape harvest in the Douro, the French oenologist Eugène Helisse decided to interrupt his journey to Oporto after passing the vines of the Quinta da Aveleda, in Penafiel. Dressed in white, and with a straw hat to ward off the heat of the end of summer, he began to walk towards the property’s cellar.
