About this product

Cool-climate red with a rustic soul.
The red side of Vinho Verde is often overlooked, but Barcos Tinto makes a compelling case. Made primarily from Vinhão, a grape known for its inky colour and punchy character, this is a light-bodied red with bright acidity, dark berry flavours, and a slightly grippy, rustic edge. Traditionally served chilled, it’s Portugal’s answer to a juicy Beaujolais or a wild Lambrusco.

Perfect for those who want something a little different—but very drinkable.

Why we love it:
It’s unusual and unforgettable. Red wine with lift, texture, and a bit of grit—made for chillier evenings or charcuterie spreads. Try it chilled and see why this hidden gem is gaining fans in Ireland.
