Vinhos Verdes

Torre de Menagem

Its body is delicate, made from a selection of the finest Alvarinho and Trajadura grapes. Crafted to reveal its full flavour when enjoyed at a refreshing temperature.

The winemaking process begins with manual harvesting, followed by gentle pressing of the grapes and static settling for 48 hours. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 14 ºC and 16 ºC for 15 days. The wine then ages in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, with regular bâtonnage over fine lees for 2 months.

Signed by winemakers Jorge Sousa Pinto and Patrícia Peixoto, this Vinho Verde is ideal with light fish dishes, seafood, white meats or simply as an aperitif. It is a wine with great longevity, suitable for immediate consumption or over the next 5 years. Best served at 8 ºC to 10 ºC.

Total Acidity: 6.3 g/l (tartaric acid) | pH: 3.29 | Reducing Sugars: 2.3 g/l

Quintas de Melgaço

The rarity of the Alvarinho grape variety, the low production and distinction makes these grapes the most valuable in Portugal. The quality of the grapes comes from natural reasons of soil and microclimate, but also from cultural practices of those who delicately treat the vines and carefully ascertain the best state of ripeness for the harvest, which is the capital phase for defining the wine’s performance. In winemaking, Quintas de Melgaço follows the traditional oenological methods and practices considered most appropriate for the sub-region, which compete to extract all the quality of the grapes that arrive at the winery. It is at this stage that Quintas de Melgaço carefully imprints its own identity to the wines it produces. Prior to bottling, the technical experts ensure that the wine has a correct chemical composition, is properly clear and presents qualities in tasting. For certification, the wine is submitted to the laboratory of the Commission of Viticulture of the Vinho Verde Region, which after approval, issues the seals of guarantee. There is a great concern with the quality of the bottle and the cork, so that the wine evolves well in the bottle and behaves well in the glass.
