It’s from grapes of the Alvarinho variety that we produce our Muros de Melgaço. Coming from south-facing hillside vineyards and exclusively produced in Melgaço, the selected grapes provide high maturation as well as high acidity levels. A complex and exuberant wine, it ferments and ages in 225L French oak barrels for 6 months. Muros de Melgaço was the first wine and throughout these 25 yearsit has firmly accompanied our journey in imposing excellence and elegance. A reference in Portugal that makes us proud by demonstrating the class and elegance of this grape variety so enriching.
