Revista de Vinhos, tasting note published in July 22nd 2023
Bright lemon. Stunning floral expression, with lots of honey, resin, and petrol notes. The palate is explosive and complex, mineral-driven, extremely harmonious, and persistent.
Anselmo Mendes’ work is recognised in Portugal and abroad not only for the excellence of the wines he produces but also for the surprising and consistent way in which he innovates. The fermentation of Alvarinho grapes in wooden barrels or the use of ancient winemaking techniques, such as tanning, are some of the methods that make these wines a case apart in the world of whites.
Contains sulphites.

Anselmo Mendes was born and grew up in Monção. It was then, as a child, that he became acquainted with the culture of the vine and wine production. The Alvarinho variety, and its wine produced there, immediately became a part of his life, to the extent that, today, Anselmo Mendes and Alvarinho are synonymous.
He graduated in Agro-Industrial Engineering in 1987, at the Higher Education Institute of the Technical University of Lisbon, and post-graduated in Oenology at the Catholic University six years later.
