Lima
Lima is a Portuguese wine-geography entry for the Vinho Verde context, useful for reading labels that name a DOC, DOP, or recognized subregional origin rather than only the broad region. Its practical identity is the Loureiro-centered Vinho Verde subregion. Typical wines are light, aromatic whites with lemon, lime blossom, green apple, herbs, and crisp acidity. The vineyard setting is cool Atlantic Minho valleys with granitic soils, rainfall, and maritime freshness. This entry is written as a reference-encyclopedia geography note: it explains place, grapes, style, and label context without ranking estates or turning the appellation into a buying list.
Notable Rules
Recognized Vinho Verde subregion; subregional names indicate origin within the broader Vinho Verde DOC / DOP rather than a producer rank.
Also Known As
Lima, Lima sub-regiao, Lima subregion, Sub-região Lima
