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 >
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.
