Anselmo Mendes is one of Portugal's most influential winemakers, particularly in Monção e Melgaço, where he has reshaped perceptions of Alvarinho. His wines combine Atlantic freshness with texture and ageing potential.

The grape variety Alvarinho cames from the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço. The Loureiro grape variety is located in the Lima sub-region with granitic soils, deep and poor in organic matter. Regarding Avesso grape variety we get it in Baião region, in the border between the continental climate of the Douro Val[1]ley and the maritime influence of Douro Litoral.
