Description
Contact Alvarinho is obtained from the noble Alvarinho variety exclusively produced in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço.

The wine has complexity, minerality and bitterness typical of the variety.
Grapes harvested manually in small boxes and transported to the cellar in a short time. Total destemming. Short skin maceration. Medium clarification done by cold. Long fermentation at low temperature: 14-18ºC. Minimum aging period of 3 months on fine lees with regular batonnage.
