Do you recognize this charming man on the wine label? 🙂
Well, he is Vasco da Gama, 1st Count of Vidigueira, a Portuguese explorer and nobleman who was the first European to reach India by sea, in the 15th century.
Inspired by Vasco da Gama’s trip to India, this Vdg is a regional red wine produced by Adega Cooperativa de Vidigueira in Portugal’s Alentejo wine region.
This multi-awarded wine is a blend of Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional and Aragonez grape varieties.
It is a garnet color and has an intense aroma of orange blossom, ripe fruit, and spices.
On the palate, it is easy, smooth, and elegant, with balanced acidity. It is a young wine full of history and wisdom.
This VDG pairs well with codfish, pasta with tomato sauce and strong cheese.
Embark on a journey with Vasco da Gama and discover the best that Alentejo has to offer.
