Description

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.
