TYPE OF WINE
Contacto Alvarinho is obtained from the noble Alvarinho grape variety grown exclusively in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço. The location of this sub-region provides it with a temperate climate, being surrounded by a range of mountains on the Spanish border, which allows us a unique combination of precipitation, temperature, and light required for the perfect maturation of the grapes. For the production of this wine, vineyards were selected near the river with granite soils of sandy loam texture. Located at a low altitude, with alluvium and fluvial terraces well present, offering the wine complexity, minerality and bitterness typical of the variety.
VINIFICATION
Handpicked grapes into small boxes and carried to the winery in a short period of time. Total de-stemming with a short skin maceration. Cold clarification at 12ºC. Fermentation with controlled velocity and temperature. Minimum 3 month ageing on fine lees with regular bâtonnage.
TASTING NOTES
Fine and delicate aroma. High aromatic concentration with floral notes and mineral nuances. Elegant mouth with bright acidity. Full of minerality and citrus bitters with intensity, full-bodied and full-bodied wine. Wet stone, lime, and salinity notes offer persistence and complexity on the palate. - Winemaker's Notes
