Vinho Verde ‘Imprudente’ Casa Santos Lima is a delightfully light wine which perfectly captures all the youthful charm of this classic wine region. Green apple, pear and light citrus fruit notes dominate along with tangy minerality and a slight spritz which is commonly associated with this style of wine. It is made from a blend of local grape varieties – Loureiro, Arinto, Avesso and Trajadura. If you are looking for a lighter summer white wine, then it is an ideal option and perfect on its own or with fish and light salads.

Casa Santos Lima has been owned by the Santos Lima family for five generations. They now produce a formidable range of wines from six regions within Portugal and have secured a well-deserved reputation for producing wines with an excellent quality to price ration (Something I’m all for). Their main winery is in Alenquer, 45km’s north of the city of Lisbon, which is a DOC within the wider Lisboa region. Here, they are the largest producer of both Regional Lisboa and DOC Alenquer wines. Through a combination of vineyard ownership and investment in regional wineries they now produce wine in the Algarve, Alentejo, Vinho Verde, Dao and Douro regions.
