A misty morning among low wooded hills, a lazy river winding its way below vineyards laden with small, round, pale green grapes. Wildflowers and fruit trees fill the air with rich, heady scents of summer. The sun slowly rises over the horizon and warms the landscape with a soft golden glow.
What The Sommelier Says
Delicate, citrus colour juxtaposed by the fresh fruity nose with hints of exotic flowers. On the palette it’s pleasantly full-bodied and long-lasting.
Pairs well with…
…itself, but superb with a lighly-broiled sea-bass, bowl of steamed mussels or even some regional chouriço.

About The Winemakers
Amadeu Abílio Lopes, originally from Melgaço in the Minho region, moved to Brazil in the mid-20th century in pursuit of new opportunities. He became a successful businessman and industrialist but never forgot his roots. Upon returning to his homeland, he aimed to contribute to the development of Melgaço and founded Quintas de Melgaço. This company brought together local producers, helping to promote the region and its wines, particularly Alvarinho, on the global stage. Quintas de Melgaço now unites over 500 small producers, all of whom are deeply connected to the region. Through their collective efforts, they have elevated Melgaço’s Alvarinho wine to international recognition. The wine, known for its unique character shaped by the local climate and soil, embodies the region’s rich history and traditions, passed down through generations of winemakers
