Anselmo Mendes Vinhos

Internally recognized as the ‘Master of Alvarinho’, Anselmo Mendes is an iconic winemaker who elevated Vinhos Verdes to a tier of global excellence.

● Rooted in Monção and Melgaço, Anselmo Mendes dedicates his career to innovation and breaking prejudices in Portuguese white wine production. A pioneer in fermenting Alvarinho in oak barrels and experimenting with skin contact (curtimenta), his winery offers wines of surgical precision. Labels like 'Contacto' or 'Muros de Melgaço' have become global icons of freshness, structure, and vibrant minerality. His wines are the mandatory choice for true connoisseurs of the nobility and longevity of great Portuguese whites.
