About this product
Cool-climate red with a rustic soul.
Barcos Vinho Verde Tinto is the everyday red from northern Portugal’s Atlantic-influenced vineyards, crafted by the estate formerly known as Adega Ponte da Barca. Vibrant, youthful, and food-friendly, it showcases the lighter side of Vinho Verde, making it a perfect companion to casual meals or simple gatherings.
In the glass, this wine displays a bright ruby hue with translucent edges. Aromas of red cherries, raspberries, and subtle floral notes are immediately inviting. On the palate, it is light-bodied, juicy, and fresh, with soft tannins and a clean finish. Its gentle spritz and vibrant acidity make it approachable, lively, and perfect for everyday enjoyment.
For wine lovers in Ireland, Barcos Vinho Verde Tinto is an ideal red for light meat, grilled vegetables, or casual seafood dishes — a wine that brings a touch of northern Portugal’s freshness and charm to Irish tables.
Why we love it:
This Tinto is Vinho Verde’s playful red expression: fresh, aromatic, and versatile. Its light body and lively character make it perfect for casual dining, while the subtle fruit and acidity keep it interesting. A red wine that feels effortless yet refined, perfect for relaxed evenings in Ireland. Keep it in the fridge!
