Anselmo Mendes Curtimenta Alvarinho 2020 Vinho Verde White 75cl

White wine made from Alvarinho grapes exclusively produced in Monção and Melgaço. The vines are over 14 years old and have low production with high levels of acidity and good maturity. It is a wine made the old-fashioned way with tanning, with more color and more tannins. It intends to fully exploit the potential of the Alvarinho grape variety.

Grapes harvested manually in small boxes and transported to the winery in a short space of time. Skin maceration followed by fermentation with the skins for a few hours. Fermentation ends in used 400 liter French oak barrels. In the same barrels it undergoes bâtonnage for 9 months on total lees. Aging for 12 months in bottle.
