Verde, Portugal Boutique Winery
Ipulled the same face as the
chap featured on the label of this
magnificent wine whenIfirst
tasted it. This was the Portland
Restaurant suggestion, and it
blew me away.Gorro isafleshy,
mildly exoticVinhoVerde grown
in the LimaValley with so much
class and depth of flavour it
is staggering. It managed to romance
four wildly different ‘bites’ and then
four completely different starters–how
many white wines can do this while still
retaining desirable individuality and all-
encompassing freshness on the palate?

By contrast to Gorro, this
spectacular white Rhône has
alittl emore flesh on the bone
and with it comesahint more
exoticism and lustre. More
of amain course wine than
Gorro-fish and poultry will
go into raptures–the brilliant
Stephane Ogier makes this, andIhave
to let you know that this wine’sred
brother featured heavily in my Zoom
lectures during lockdown and so it is
so exciting to shineaspotlight on this
thrilling white.
