Vinho Verde DOC – Monção & Melgaço
Clear, light yellow citrus colour. Complex and intense aromas of stone fruits and citrus, light honey. Gluttonous and long mouth, feeling the lees ageing and its batonnage. Balanced, elegant and complex.
This wine was also the first to blend these two grape varieties (Alvarinho and Loureiro) in the Minho/Vinho Verde region back in 1996. First edition in 2007.
