What The Fellas Say

Clear blue skies over a dazzlingly hot beach. You’ve just spent an hour or two jumping in the sea, your feet are sandy, your mouth is dry. It’s Vinho Verde time! And this Alvarinho/Trajadura blend is the perfect solution to your cotton mouth and goes smashingly well with the bowl of fresh clams that’s just appeared in front of you.

What The Sommelier Says

Clear citrus yellow colour, elegant aroma with hints of pear and nectarine. On the palette, green apple, pear and citrus combine with a delicate effervesence and minerality.

Pairs well with…

…chargrilled octopus on a bed of roast potatoes, a bowl of clams in lemon and garlic, a soft, pungent goat cheese.

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.
