2020 | Anselmo Mendes | Parcela Unica Alvarinho

Fermented and aged in 400-liter barrels, it denotes remarkable aromatic purity, suggestions of flint, orange and grapefruit, citrus flowers. The mouthfeel is textured, austere, precise, with enormous creaminess cut by crunchy freshness. Exquisite, bright, one of Portugal's great whites.

Producer Information

Anselmo Mendes is the quintessential inside man – born the son of grape growers in Montcão, one of the two top regions (along with Melgaco) for Alvarinho, he has studied agronomy and oenology, worked in Bordeaux and now consults for many wineries throughout Portugal. Indeed, just to keep it in the family, he was a consultant for Aphros in the early days.
