Esporão’s Bico Amarelo Vinho Verde 2024 is a bright, easy-drinking expression of Portugal’s Vinho Verde—crafted with Esporão’s modern, quality-focused approach and a clear emphasis on freshness. It’s the kind of wine that leans into lively citrus, orchard fruit and a gently spritzy lift, making it effortlessly refreshing and food-friendly.

Appearance:
Very pale lemon to straw with a faint green hue, crystal clear and youthful. A subtle, natural prickle can show as fine bubbles at the rim, reinforcing its just-picked, coastal freshness.

Aroma:
Clean and lifted—lime, lemon zest and green apple, with white peach and pear in the background. Hints of spring blossom and a light herbal edge (fresh-cut herbs, citrus leaf) keep it crisp and appetising.

Taste:
Light-bodied and brisk, driven by mouthwatering acidity. Citrus and crunchy apple lead, followed by soft stone-fruit notes and a delicate saline/mineral touch. If there’s a slight spritz, it adds extra zip and makes the palate feel even more refreshing.

Finish:
Snappy, dry-leaning and cleansing, finishing on citrus pith, green apple skin and a faint floral echo that invites another sip.

Food Pairing:
Fresh oysters, grilled prawns, calamari, sushi, ceviche, summer salads, goat’s cheese, or simple roast chicken with lemon and herbs.
