What The Fellas Say

What a humble looking wine. A simple label, nothing fancy, no hip design. You’d hardly notice it on the shelf. But wow, what a wine inside. Winner of a Silver Medal at San Francisco’s Sommelier Choice Awards in 2023 (chosen out of 1,200 wines!). Crisp and delicate and floral with yummy minerality and saltiness. The Fellas could swim in this. We could fill baptismal fonts with it. We could build pyramids of wine glasses and create beautiful cascades of Alvarinho with it. It makes us want to sing and dance!

What The Sommelier Says

A classic. A wine full of delicacy, freshness and minerality. On the palette, white fruits, citrus, saline tones and flowers. Nice long finish.

Pairs well with…

…itself at happy hour as an aperitif, or riding tandem with any seafood or fish dish, or could work great with a tangy or sweet dish like a chicken picata or taco al pastor.

About The Winemakers

Dona Paterna was founded by Carlos Alberto Codesso, inspired by his father’s passion for viticulture, and officially established in 1990 after years of hands-on experience and a deep connection to the land. Located in the historic parish of Paderne—home to a 10th-century monastery founded by the noble Dona Paterna—the winery honors its namesake’s legacy. Situated in the Monção and Melgaço sub-region, known for its unique microclimate and granite-rich soils, Dona Paterna cultivates rare, high-quality Alvarinho grapes on 17.5 hectares of south-facing slopes. With expert guidance from oenologist Fernando Moura, the winery blends modern technology with traditional methods to craft wines that are both distinctive and versatile, ideal as aperitifs or with seafood, fish, and poultry.
