Barcos "500" Sauvignon Blanc

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.
