Artisan Alvarinho from the alluvial terraces of Monção e Melgaço in Vinho Verde. Made by Liam Steevenson MW and local winemaker Joana Santiago, this is a vibrant white with breezy Atlantic freshness and razor-sharp acidity. Fresh aromatics burst out of the glass: citrus, peach, melon, honeysuckle. Lees stirring adds texture to the zingy green apple and citrus palate. Crying out for a seafood platter!
