🍇 1. Region of origin Vinho Verde: produced in the northwest region of Portugal, officially called the Vinho Verde Region, which stretches from Minho to part of Porto.
Douro Wine: comes from the Douro Valley, further east, also known as the region of the famous Port Wine.

🥂 2. Wine style Vinho Verde: can be white, rosé or red, but the most famous are the light, fresh whites, with striking acidity and, often, a slight natural gas.
Douro Wine: these are generally more full-bodied and structured wines, both red and white. The region also produces the famous Port Wine, which is fortified (with the addition of brandy).

🍃 3. Flavor profile Vinho Verde: citrusy, refreshing, with notes of green apple, lemon and sometimes a slight mineral touch.
Douro wine: richer and more intense, with flavors of ripe fruit, spices, and more pronounced tannins (in the case of red wines).

🍽️ 4. Pairing Vinho Verde: great with seafood, salads, and light meals. Douro wine: goes well with red meats, more seasoned dishes, and cured cheeses.

🍴FRANCESINHA is a typical dish from Porto, Portugal.

🍺It is a very substantial sandwich filled with various meats, usually beef steak, sausage, fresh sausage and ham. This sandwich is covered with melted cheese and drizzled with a special, hot and spicy sauce made with tomato, beer and spices.

🍳Francesinha is often served with French fries and, sometimes, with a fried egg on top. It is a comforting dish and very popular, especially during the winter, because it is very rich and tasty.

ARROZ DE SARRABULHO/ Sarrabulho Rice

🍴This is one of the icons of Minho cuisine and is strongly linked to rural traditions and pig slaughter.

Main ingredients: rice cooked in a rich meat broth, various types of pork, chicken, beef, sausages and coagulated pig's blood

Traditional accompaniment: pork rojões (pork fried in its own fat).

This is a dish with an intense and comforting flavour
It is almost obligatory to try it when visiting Ponte de Lima, as it is a true expression of traditional Minho cuisine.
