Brisa do Mar means "sea breeze", and the label shows a small sailing boat heeling in the wind. On Portugal's northwest coast that breeze is part of the wine: cool Atlantic air sweeps over the Vinho Verde vineyards and keeps the wines light, fresh and low in alcohol. This is a semi-dry white from Loureiro, Trajadura and Arinto.
