Wind And Waves Alvarinho 2022, Vinho Verde DOC

Product Description

Quinta da Calçada are one of the oldest producers in Vinho Verde’s Amarante region. The Lago Cerqueira family built their cellars here in 1917 – & over a century later, their wines have gone from strength to strength. This is an elegant expression of Alvarinho—known in Spain as Albariño— thanks to the subregion’s high elevation. Due to the vineyard’s lofty altitudes, grapes benefit from the warm, sunny days & cooler nighttime temperatures. The result? Ripe, juicy flavour balanced by a refreshing acidity. Expect floral hints & notes of tropical fruit & citrus. The refreshing acidity & minerality makes it a great part for fried fish dishes like calamari or fresh sushi & sashimi.
