Vinho Verde

With peri-peri chicken Vinho Verde is not a grape but a protected Portuguese wine region, and its whites are young, fresh, often lightly fizzy and pleasingly cheap. That fruitiness stands up to the spice of a peri-peri marinade, while the gentle prickle keeps a hot, smoky plate of chicken and fries feeling light. Serve it very cold and do not save it: these bottles are made to be drunk young.
