Anselmo Mendes Pardusco Vinho Verde Tinto, 75cl

Best-selling author, wine writer and broadcaster Helen McGinn, aka @knackeredmother, has curated a hand-picked selection her favourite bottles from our very own cellars, and this delightful bottle is included.

“When Fortnum’s asked if I’d like to collaborate on some wine selections I wondered if I might be dreaming. Seriously – I’ve loved the Fortnum’s wine shop for years, often finding an excuse to wander the aisles in the name of research. A real hidden gem, the choice of wines is surprisingly eclectic.”

Why Helen loves this bottle…

“When the sun is shining and the right food calls for it, a chillable red makes for a refreshing change. This relatively rare Portuguese red from Vinho Verde works perfectly when popped in the ice bucket, bringing out snappy cherry fruit flavours.”
