Grape: Alvarinho and Pinot Noir , Vinho Verde DOC , Minho , Portugal
Newly launched in 2017, this wine is only in its fourth vintage. Consisting of a blend of Alvarinho (70%) & Pinot Noir (30%), the wine owes its persistence to Pinot Noir and its elegance to Alvarinho with a moderate alcohol content of 12.5%. This wine can be enjoyed as an excellent relaxing aperitif, as it is very much in line with the current trend of consuming wine by the glass. The Alvarinho produced in high-altitude vineyards, with its intense, fresh and mineral character, receives the addition of Pinot Noir, which is also grown in this region and brings a more aromatic and elegant element to the blend. This creates a wine which is aromatic and fresh at the same time, with a mineral character and intense flavour
