The wine region of Vinho Verde
Portuguese star of fresh, slightly sparkling white. High-end Alvarinho in Monção and Melgaço: mineral, precise whites with signature notes of lemon, white peach, flowers and a tense saline finish. Aromatic Loureiro (orange blossom, bay leaf), round Trajadura, full Avesso, lively Arinto. Light natural effervescence, low alcohol (9-11°), sharp vivacity: ideal aperitif and seafood.

High-end star Alvarinho (peach, exotic fruits, minerality), floral Loureiro (laurel), ample Trajadura, taut Arinto, structured Avesso. Vinhão as lively red.
The word of the wine: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
