Anselmo Mendes Muros Antigos Alvarinho 2023 Vinho Verde Branco 75cl

Muros Antigos Alvarinho is obtained from the noble Alvarinho variety exclusively produced in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço. The location of this sub-region provides it with a particular microclimate, being surrounded by a set of mountains that allow a unique combination of rainfall, temperature and luminosity necessary for the perfect maturation of the grapes. This wine comes from sunny hillside vineyards, with poor and granitic soils. The harvest of the grapes that will originate this wine is one of the first to occur, thus obtaining its unique aromatic freshness.

Grapes harvested manually in small boxes and transported to the cellar in a short time. Pressing the whole de-stemmed grape. Cold clarification 48h-72h. Long fermentation at low temperature: 14-18ºC. Minimum aging period of 3 months on fine lees with regular batonnage.
