2021 Anselmo Mendes Curtimenta Alvarinho white
Free shipping to Description
White wine made from grapes of Alvarinho variety produced exclusively in Monção and Melgaço. The vines are more than 14 years old and have low production with high levels of acidity and good maturation. A wine made “the old way” with fermentation on skins, with more color and moretannins. It intends to get the maximum potential from the Alvarinho variety.
Complex nose, strong floral aromas together with hints of spicy/oaky aromas (hints of vanilla) and mineral (stony steely character). On the palate, slight herbaceous typical from the variety. Greatstructure with a fresh acidity along with a large, evolving and long end.
The work of Anselmo Mendes is recognised in Portugal and abroad not only for the excellence of the wines he produces but also for the surprising and consistent way in which he innovates. The fermentation of Alvarinho grapes in wooden barrels or the use of ancient winemaking techniques, such as tanning, are some of the methods that make these wines a case apart in the world of whites.
