Bartholomew Broadbent’s love for Portuguese wines stems from their eminent drinkability, restrained alcohol levels and a versatility with food pairings. First launched in 2005, the Broadbent Vinho Verde quickly earned a reputation as one of the finest in the segment. But what is Vinho Verde and why is it special? To make a proper Vinho Verde is to suppress the malolactic fermentation (what makes wines smooth and buttery) and inject carbon dioxide at bottling to give the wine its characteristic spritz. It is reminiscent of freshly sliced apple combined with a citrus driven acidity that give this fruity wine an attractive lively character. It is tangy, crisp and ready to be devoured.
