Muros de Melgaço Alvarinho

Type of wine

It’s from grapes of the Alvarinho variety

that we produce our Muros de Melgaço.

Coming from south-facing hillside

vineyards and exclusively produced in

Melgaço, the selected grapes provide high

maturation as well as high acidity levels. A

complex and exuberant wine, it ferments

and ages in 225L French oak barrels for

6 months. Muros de Melgaço was the

first wine and throughout these 25 years

it has firmly accompanied our journey

in imposing excellence and elegance. A

reference in Portugal that makes us proud

by demonstrating the class and elegance

of this grape variety so enriching..

Vinification

Carefully selected grapes from the best

plots of land. Handpicked into small

boxes and transported to the winery in

a short period of time. Soft pressing of

destemmed grapes followed by a light

decantation of the must by cold at 12ºC.

Fermentation in French oak barrels with

bâtonnage on total lees for 6 months.

Tasting notes

The nose is marked by minerality and citrus

notes. In the mouth it is persistent and

structured, but the juiciness it presents

with the acidity makes it elegant. Light

vanilla offers creaminess.

Food pairing

Muros de Melgaço is an excellent wine

to pair with fish dishes. Spiritual cod and

fish fillet seasoned with lemon are great

pairing dishes. Should be served between

11-13ºC.
