Producer >
Anselmo Mendes is recognised not only for the excellence of the wines he produces but also for the surprising and consistent way he innovates. Combining the use of age-old techniques, such as fermentation on skins, with bold winemaking methods such as the fermentation of Alvarinho in oak casks, he is established in Portugal and abroad with an original design and his own identity.
Viticulture >
White wine made from grapes of Alvarinho variety produced exclusively in Melgaço. The vineyards are on south-facing hillsides with high maturation and high levels of acidity.
Winemaking >
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.
