White wines in Portugal are anything but boring. Whether it’s a crisp, mineral-driven highland Encruzado or a spritzy Loureiro from the coast, these wines offer personality and pleasure in every glass. Today, we’re sipping on three distinct styles—each a beautiful snapshot of Portuguese terroir.


šŸ° Casa de Santar Vinha dos Amores Blanc de Blancs Encruzado 2013

Elegance in a Bottle – DĆ£o's White Star

This aged white from DĆ£o is 100% Encruzado—a grape known for elegance and finesse. Think white flowers, toasted almonds, a touch of beeswax and citrus zest. It’s layered and structured, perfect for serious food pairings or contemplative solo sipping.

šŸ’ƒ Maria Bonita Loureiro

Fresh, Floral, and Full of Life

From the Vinho Verde region comes this bright and aromatic Loureiro. With notes of lemon blossom, pear, and a zippy acidity, it’s light-hearted and joyful. Perfect with seafood salads, sushi, or simply on its own while the sun’s still up.

šŸž Muralhas de Monção Vinho Verde 2021

Crisp, Slightly Spritzy, Always Refreshing A textbook Vinho Verde—slightly effervescent, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing. Great with fried snacks, grilled prawns, or even popcorn chicken. This bottle practically screams ā€œchill me and drink me now.ā€
