Get to know: Vila Jardim Selection White

An elegant and vibrant Portuguese white wine from the Portugal’s Tejo region

Tasting Note

Vila Jardim Selection White is a sophisticated, refreshing white that balances lively citrus fruit with a lean, mineral backbone. Bright gold in colour with aromas of lemon zest, grapefruit, and honeydew melon. On the palate, the Arinto, Verdelho, and Viosinho grapes deliver a crisp, vibrant character with subtle mineral notes, finishing clean and refreshing. This is a refined example of a Tejo white wine, perfect for those who enjoy elegant, food-friendly whites.

Top food pairings:

• Fresh oysters with a squeeze of lemon
• Zesty green salads with herbs
• Lightly fried calamari or seafood tapas

Kate Says

“This is my kind of white wine, made using two of my favourite grapes, Verdejo & Arinto. Light, zesty, and mineral with ripe fruit. Very good value. I’d enjoy this sat outside on a summers day with a few plates of tapas.”
