Muros Antigos Alvarinho Magnum

Muros Antigos Alvarinho is produced in

the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço

from the illustrious Alvarinho grape variety.

This sub-region is surrounded by

a group of mountains on the Spanish

border, thus becoming a moderate climate

with a unique combination between

precipitation, temperature and luminosity

required for the perfect maturation of the

grapes. This wine originates from sunny

vineyards on the hillside, with granite soils

and poor in organic matter and clay. It is

one of the first to be harvested in order

to obtain its unique aromatic freshness.

Vinification

Handpicked grapes into small boxes and

carried to the winery in a short period of

time. Pressing of the whole de-stemmed

grape. Cold clarification for 48-72h. Long

fermentation at low temperatures of 14-

18ºC. Minimum 3 month ageing on fine

lees with regular bâtonnage.

Tasting notes

A very aromatic wine, with aromas of

stone fruit such as apricot and yellow

plum. On the palate, it is fresh and has

a fine acidity together with a slightly

marked minerality. Persistent, it has a

long, complex finish that demonstrates

the structure of Alvarinho in a wine of

excellence. Should be served at 11-13°C.
