Anselmo Mendes Expressões Alvarinho 2019

Wine made from Alvarinho grapes exclusively from Quinta da Torre in Monção. This wine expresses the potential of the sub-region and its queen grape variety as well as the study of this grape variety fermented and aged in barrels. This wine then comes from Quinta da Torre where we managed to do a differentiated job in relation to the diversity of soils that exist in the place.

Grapes harvested manually in small boxes and transported to the winery in a short space of time. Very gentle pressing of whole de-stemmed grapes. Long cold clarification. Fermentation in used 400 liter French oak barrels. Aging in these barrels for 9 months with bâtonnage on total lees. Aging for 9 months in bottle.

Very delicate floral aroma typical of grapes from Monção wrapped in an austere minerality. It also presents a very evident citrus fruit accompanied by a light caramel. In the mouth it shows a sharp acidity with great freshness. Fruity notes along with nuances of wood and the slight noble bitterness typical of the variety. Persistent and elegant.
