Description
This 100% Alvarinho comes from the Monção and Melgaço subregion, which is recognized as the homeland for this grape. The wine is superripe, beautifully structured and packed with rich fruits. Juicy apples dominate this floral wine with its great acidity and fresh, textured aftertaste. The finest Alvarinho grapes are produced on the coveted sun-soaked slopes of the left bank of the river Minho. The wines from these select grapes have a distinct personality which can only be achieved in the unique terroir of this region. Citrine of colour, with light tones of yellow and revealing a complex aroma showing notes of Peach and Apricot with just a hint of floral and tropical citrus, we can enjoy an engaging and full-bodied wine and with balanced acidity.
