Native to the Iberian Peninsula, and particularly found in Rias Baixas, the Alvarinho grape is also one of Portugal’s most noble varieties. The vineyards are based in the hot Amarante sub region, which is located at higher altitude than the coastline of the Minho region. This wine undergoes skin maceration for 24 hours for 40% of the lot which gives an excellent, rich texture to the body. Intense aromas on the nose of citrus fruits, nectarines and honeysuckle. The palate is vibrant, showing a refreshing acidity with ripe flavours of fleshy white peach, lime and a subtle saline note on the finish.
