Contacto Monção & Melgaço Alvarinho 2024

Ancient skin-contact tradition is handled with modern restraint; this wine is calm, precise, and quietly rebellious. Refreshing with a med body and a bright citrus peel with sea mist profile. Props to the Somm at Wren & Wolf in Phoenix. This was the most interesting wine of my trip. — 5 months ago

Reserva Vinho Verde Alvarinho 2020

Crisp apple, fresh meadow. Effervescent and a bit sweet for my liking. Still, a nice vinho verde. A little chew as well, which is a welcome layer. — 5 years ago

Pouco Comun Vinho Verde Alvarinho 2022

Final night of the cruise dinner in Le Bistro. Might be the first time we went with seafood dishes and a white wine! No Bordeaux Blanc on the included wine list so we went for a familiar grape/region. Weighty on the palate with citrus, salinity, and floral notes. Damn good for a free bottle! — 7 months ago

Morgadio da Torre

Vinho Verde Alvarinho 2021

Brought this back from Portugal in 2023 and finally drank it. Awesome wine even if it was maybe a little past its prime. Classic Vinho Verde citrus and floral nose and a dash of minerality. On the tongue it's missing that light effervescence I love but it still brings a lot of citrus and light fruit sweetness that balances the acidity. Would absolutely buy again if I can find it over here! — 9 months ago

Granit Mineral Selection Monção e Melgaço Alvarinho 2020

Wow that nose! There is chalk and lemon peel, to that point that I could be thrown off-pace to Chablis here. There are some pear notes too that linger in the back. The palate is a joy... There is a massive acid backbone that makes it a very long wine. There is width and matter, giving it presence. There are lemon peel and pear notes all along, along with a chalky, dusty mouthfeel on the sides. The finish is long, extended, with pear notes and that slight lemon peel thing which goes away somehow in the end. That's clearly a very serious vinho Verde here! I'm a big fan — 4 years ago

Great notes DM. It is amazing that Portugal can obtain such chalky minerality to be reminiscent of Chablis. I will visit them in July.

Thank you @Martin Bergo ! The value of this is insane. To be honest it had been a long time since I last was that impressed/surprised by a wine.
