Contacto Alvarinho

A modern and elegant white wine from the Monção and Melgaço sub-region of Vinho Verde, Portugal, crafted by renowned winemaker Anselmo Mendes from 100% Alvarinho grapes. The name Contacto refers to the brief skin contact used during vinification to enhance aromatic intensity and structure. It features a pale lemon color and a complex bouquet of citrus, tropical fruits, and floral notes with a distinct mineral edge. On the palate, it is full-bodied and precise, offering a creamy texture from lees aging balanced by a vibrant acidity and a long, persistent finish with a characteristic saline touch. Ideal for pairing with seafood, sushi, or grilled fish.
