I'm taking this out of "The World Atlas of Wine"

Although most Vinho Verde is made from a blend of grapes typically incuding Azal, Loureiro, Trajadura, Avesso and some Pedernao (Arinto) some of the best is made from the white Alvarinho grape grown around Moncao. Yes, it's the same grape as Spains Albarino.

Alvarinho grapes can produce CREAMY, rich wines with complex flavors of apricots, peaches, and citrus
