Esporao Bico Amarelo Vinho Verde 2024

One of our most requested white wines is undoubtedly Vinho Verde from Portugal. Time and again we've had customers return from holidays in Portugal raving about its vibrant personality, incredible freshness and utterly refreshing style. It's one of those wines that leaves such an impression that many come home asking us the same question: "When are you getting another Vinho Verde?"

Well, we're delighted to say the wait is finally over. Better still, what we have today isn't just any run-of-the-mill Vinho Verde. At the 2025 International Wine Challenge, it claimed some of the competition's highest honours, taking home Best Portuguese White, Best Vinho Verde, and a Gold Medal, while also earning an outstanding 96-Point rating from the judging panel.

With accolades like these, you'd expect a wine of this calibre to command well over $80. Instead it's available from just $36.99, making a compelling case as one of the best value Portuguese white wines of the 2024 vintage!

In the glass, I found enticing citrus and tropical fruit aromas leading into a beautifully creamy palate, finishing long, fresh and wonderfully refreshing. The 2024 vintage is a blend of Loureiro, Alvarinho and Avesso, with the fruit hand-harvested from Esporão's historic estate, whose origins date back to 1710.

Whether you're discovering Vinho Verde for the very first time or fondly remembering a glass enjoyed while travelling through Portugal, this outstanding Double Trophy and Gold Medal-winning release from Esporão is one you'll find very difficult to resist.
