DOC Vinho Verde Alvarinho, Monção e Melgaço
Expressões
Type of wine
From grapes of the noble Alvarinho variety, exclusively from Quinta da Torre. Located in Monção, Quinta da Torre presents a diversity of soils in the various plots, allowing the elaboration of a rich and complex wine. The intensive study over the years, by Anselmo Mendes, of the Alvarinho variety in the process offermentation and barrel aging is present in this wine.
Vinification
Handpicked grapes into small boxes and carried to the winery in a short period of time. Very soft pressing of the whole destemmed grapes. Long cold clarification. Fermentation in new 400-litre Frenchoak barrels. Ageing in these barrels for 9 months with bâtonnage on the whole lees. 9 months of ageing in bottle.
Tasting notes
Floral aroma that reminds of jasmine and nuances of light vanilla. Notes of toast and caramel. In the mouth the well marked acidity and evident citric freshness mark this wine. Persistent, elegant and delicate finish.
Pairing Suggestion
Expressions, a very gastronomic wine, perfectly accompanies several cod and crustacean dishes. Codfish fillet with creamy sauce of shrimp and asparagus or codfish “à Brás” are great strong dishesthat perfectly accompany this wine. Several cheeses also make Expressions an enriching wine on the palate. Camembert cheese puff pastry drizzled with honey, walnuts and rosemary, a worthy starterfor a powerful wine. Should be served at 11-13°C.
