Contacto Monção & Melgaço Alvarinho 2023

Exclusively from their vineyards in the northern part of Vinho Verde, Monção and Melgaço. I’ve been there! That’s where I accidentally got up two hours early cause my clock switched to Spain time and I thought that meant I'dn need to get up an hour early. Contacto has a little more skin contact than average, turning up with a slight texture and friendly bitter bite. On the nose, it’s fresh lemon zest, wet stone and whetstone, with a bit of white flower. The palate is utterly thirst-quenching, veering into dried apricot territory and a bit of (as I said above) fun bitterness countering the fruit. It all wraps up with a sluice of salinity. Fun, fun, fun! — 4 months ago

Parcela Única Alvarinho 2020

Выпито там же тем же составом. Альбариньо - мой любимый белый португальский сорт винограда. Это достойное вино 2020 года. — 8 months ago

This was a really cool, fresh, balanced orange wine from a grape and producer I’d never heard of. I’m fascinated by it! — 7 months ago

Muros Antigos Monção e Melgaço Vinho Verde Alvarinho 2021

When in Portugal drink Anselmo Mendes… from the local mini mart…so savory, tart, & begging for food…a few digestif biscuits & some local goat cheese, this sings. Medium bodied, & so not for the faint of heart. — 2 years ago
