Bartholomew Broadbent’s love for Portuguese wines stems from their eminent drinkability, restrained alcohol levels and the balance which makes them versatile enough to pair with all kinds of everyday dining. He was looking to make wines which were friendly on the palate, yet with enough quality to please the discriminating connoisseur, at an affordable price. Since then, 20 years and counting, Broadbent has partnered with family owned wineries around the globe to produce wines rich with the essence of place and tradition. First launched in 2005, the Broadbent Vinho Verde quickly earned a reputation as one of the finest Vinho Verdes available.
To make a proper Vinho Verde is to suppress the malolactic fermentation and inject carbon dioxide at bottling to give the wine its characteristic spritz. The wine is produced at Quinta de Azevedo in the Barcelos commune— the top quality area for Vinho Verde production.
Tasting Note: Bright, zesty citrus and green apple meets a kiss of stone fruits, butterscotch, and spice. The palate is lively with a hint of quince, and finishes with a creamy, yet slightly spicy note. Great acidity balanced with rich fruit. Great to pair with seafood, salads or poultry.
