Anselmo Mendes 'Passaros' Alvarinho e Loureiro 2024
Pássaros Alvarinho Loureiro is made from two of the best white varieties in the region: Alvarinho and Loureiro. The grape variety Alvarinho cames from the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço. The Loureiro grape variety is located in our vineyards in the Lima sub-region with granitic soils, deep and poor in organic matter. By combining these two varieties we get a fresh and aromatic wine but with structure and body which enables it to become the perfect partner for the table or by its own.
KEY POINTS
Handpicked grapes into small boxes and carried to the winery in a short period of time. Total de-stemmning. Soft pressing of the whole grape. Extreme cold must clarification. Long fermentation at low temperatures: 12-16ºC. Minimum 3-month ageing on fine lees with regular bâtonnage.
TASTING NOTES
Floral and fruity aromas with a strong presence of citric aromas. Fresh and light mouth full of minerality. Ends long and light.
