Garça Azul means "blue heron", and its label is dressed in azulejos, the painted tiles that cover church walls, railway stations and house fronts all over Portugal. Behind the tiles is a semi-dry Vinho Verde from the DOC region in the country's northwest, light and fresh at 10% alcohol. The white is made from Loureiro, Trajadura and Arinto.
