Minho is Portugal's Northernmost wine region. It is known for one wine style above all others: crisp, light, white Vinho Verde, whose DOC zone covers the same territory. The Minho name is used for the area's Vinho Regional designation (similar to the French IGP).
The latter's looser production laws allow more diversity in the average winery's portfolio, including red and rosé wines.
Minho VR was formerly known Rios do Minho before the Vinho Regional category was updated in 2008 to fall in line with the EU-wide PGI/IGP/IGT category.

There are around 60,000 hectares of vines planted in Minho.
Many of these are dedicated to Vinho Verde, the country's largest DOC.
