Esporão Bico Amarelo

🏷️ Summary

A crisp, fresh and wonderfully versatile Portuguese white, Esporão Bico Amarelo comes from the iconic Vinho Verde region. Bright citrus, juicy orchard fruit and zesty acidity make this wine incredibly refreshing and food-friendly — perfect with seafood, salads, light pasta or simply enjoyed chilled on its own.

🍇 Tasting Notes

Pale straw with glints of green, the nose opens with lively aromas of lemon zest, lime and green apple, underscored by hints of white peach and lime blossom. On the palate it is light-bodied and dry, with crisp acidity and juicy fruit that carry to a clean, refreshing finish with a subtle touch of spritz that typifies the Vinho Verde style.

🍽️ Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with oysters, prawns, grilled fish and ceviche, as well as fresh salads, sushi and light pasta dishes. Its vibrant acidity also complements goat’s cheese, citrus-based sauces and Asian-inspired cuisine. Serve well chilled at 8–10 °C.

🏡 Winemaking & Reigon

Produced by Esporão, one of Portugal’s most respected wineries, Bico Amarelo is drawn from vineyards in the Vinho Verde DOC — a cool, Atlantic-influenced region in northern Portugal known for bright, aromatic whites. The name Bico Amarelo (“yellow beak”) refers to the bright yellow beak of the stork, a bird associated with Portugal’s vineyards.

This wine is crafted in a fresh, fruit-driven style with stainless-steel fermentation to preserve purity and vibrancy. Light spritz (natural slight effervescence) may be present, adding refreshing lift without sweetness.
