Rios do Minho VR

Rios do Minho is a Portuguese wine region covering the same areas as the Vinho Verde DOC. The region is classified as a "Vinho Regional" (VR), a designation similar to a French "vin de pay" region. The wines of the Rios do Minho and Vinho Verde are nearly identical except for the Rios do Minho VR allowing foreign grape varieties to be used that are excluded from the "Denominação de Origem Controlada" (DOC) regulations for Vinho Verde.
