Anselmo Mendes - Contacto Alvarinho White

White wine made from grapes of the Alvarinho variety produced exclusively in Monção and Melgaço. The vineyards are alongside the river, at low altitude, and the soils are deep with a high content of pebbles. The wine has complexity, a vegetable character, minerality and the bitterness of Alvarinho. Key points Total de-stemming. Short skin maceration. Medium cold clarification. Fermentation at a constant rate between 14º and 22ºC. Minimum 4-month ageing on fine lees. Tasting notes Citrus, tropical aromas, but with great complexity. Full-bodied, good structure and the dry, bitter finish of the Alvarinho variety.
