"Monção and Melgaço, situated in the northernmost part of Portugal, benefit from a distinct microclimate shaped by protective mountains. This unique setting ensures an ideal harmony of rainfall, temperature, and sunlight hours crucial for optimal Alvarinho grape maturation. During the ripening stage, the microclimate in Monção and Melgaço plays a vital role. The alternating hot days and cool nights foster the development of vibrant, fruity aromas, maintaining a refreshing acidity that is well-balanced."- Importer "Creamy citrus oil, lime and yellow apple notes are nicely spiced and detailed with saline mineral and floral underpinnings through the long finish. — Gillian Sciaretta"
