About this product

An adventurous Portuguese white inspired by the voyages that changed the world.
Barcos “500” Sauvignon Blanc hails from the Vinho Verde region in northern Portugal, where rolling hills meet the Atlantic coast. Formerly known as Adega Ponte da Barca, Barcos is renowned for crafting wines that balance tradition with precision. The “500” celebrates the estate’s pioneering spirit and its commitment to quality, producing a wine that is light, vibrant, and unmistakably Portuguese.

In the glass, it bursts with aromas of citrus blossom, green apple, and white peach, accompanied by subtle floral and herbal notes. On the palate, it’s crisp, lively, and fresh, with a delicate spritz that highlights Vinho Verde’s signature character. This Sauvignon Blanc delivers both energy and elegance — a perfect expression of the region’s Atlantic-influenced terroir.

For wine lovers in Ireland, Barcos “500” offers a refreshing, versatile white — perfect for pairing with seafood, salads, or light summer dishes, bringing the breezy charm of northern Portugal to the Irish table.

Why we love it:
Sauvignon Blanc is loved for its zingy freshness, and Barcos gives it a whole new context. “500” takes you on a journey from Portugal’s coast to the Irish table—elegant, crisp, and with just enough wildness to keep things interesting. It’s the kind of wine you want to open on a summer evening and revisit in any season.

Colour
Bright pale straw with shimmering green reflections.

Nose
Lively and expressive—notes of freshly cut grass, citrus peel, green apple, gooseberry, and a whisper of white pepper.

Palate
Crisp and elegant with racy acidity and clean fruit. Zesty lime and tropical hints evolve into a mineral-driven finish with subtle texture thanks to bâtonnage during ageing.

This vibrant white makes a natural partner to:

  • Dublin Bay prawns with lemon and herbs
  • Thai green curry or sushi with ginger and wasabi
  • Goat cheese crostini or light chicken dishes with citrus
  • Grilled vegetable skewers or Mediterranean mezze plates

Serve well-chilled at 8–10 °C to highlight its aromatic purity and tension.
