Tasting Notes
Floral and delicate aroma, Contacto has a high aromatic concentration. The minerality present turns it into an elegant and complex wine. Well-present citrus notes and complexity on the palate are the key to tasting this wine.Vineyard Notes
Contacto Alvarinho is obtained from the noble Alvarinho grape variety grown exclusively in the sub-region of Monção and Melgaço. The location of this sub-region provides it with a temperate climate, being surrounded by a range of mountains on the Spanish border, which allows us a unique combination between precipitation, temperature and light required for the perfect maturation of the grapes. For the production of this wine, vineyards were selected near the river with granite soils of sandy loam texture. Located at low altitude, with alluvium and fluvial terraces well present, offering the wine complexity, minerality and bitterness typical of the variety.Production Notes
Handpicked grapes into small boxes and carried to the winery in a short period of time. Total de-stemming with a short skin maceration. Cold clarification at 54°F. Fermentation with controlled velocity and temperature. Minimum 3 month aging on fine lees with regular batonnage.| Vintage | 2023 |
