Twin Vines, from José Maria da Fonseca, is a refreshing white wine from the Vinho Verde DOC in northwest Portugal. It celebrates the May 2007 birth of twin daughters to António Maria Soares Franco Jr., the newest members of the José Maria da Fonseca family. Together they represent the newest members and 8th generation of the Soares Franco family, owners of this historic Portuguese wine company.

José Maria da Fonseca is one of Portugal’s premier wine producers. Since its inception in 1834, the family has shared a passion for winemaking that is evident in the high standards set for viticulture and vinification processes. The winery’s vision has always been to identify new opportunities in the ever-changing wine industry. Thus, the winery is enthused to present Twin Vines, a premier Vinho Verde bursting with expressive fruit flavors and vibrant acidity.

Vinho Verde is located in northwest Portugal extending from Vale da Cambra, south of the Duoro river, to the Minho river on the border with Spain. This fertile region benefits from a warm growing season and cool westerly winds. The soil is primarily granitic allowing for good drainage.
