Muros Antigos Alvarinho 2022

Type of Wine
Muros Antigos Alvarinho is obtained from the noble Alvarinho grape variety, grown exclusively in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço. The localization of this sub-region provides it with a particular microclimate surrounded by a range of mountains which allows a unique combination of precipitation, temperature, and luminosity required for the perfect maturation of the grapes. The harvest of the grapes that will create this wine is the first to occur so that we can obtain its unique aromatic freshness.

Key Points
Handpicked grapes into small boxes and carried them to the winery in a short period. Pressing of the whole de-stemmed grape. Cold clarification for 48-72h. Long fermentation at low temperatures of 14-18ºC.

• Tasting Notes 
  Pronounced citric notes (lemon and grapefruit). Clear, direct, and refreshing mouth attack. Lemon peel notes on the mouth along with a stress and flavourful acidity. Ends long and with a good mouthfeel.
  
  Store and Serve Advice
  Serve at a temperature between 8 to 10º C.

Food Pairing
It is an excellent wine with fish, salads, white meats, and cheeses or as an aperitif.
