Contacto Monção & Melgaço Alvarinho


Fruity and floral, fresh but a little weighty too. A bit too easy to toss back on the porch... or in front of a cozy fire.

A white wine for almost everything. Richness from the skin contact, but the austere salinity coupled with delicate floral notes make it a perfect wine for food.

Easy to drink! Tasty. Not oily or overripe.

Flat out bad on day one. Forgot it was in the fridge and it was delicious, tropical and high toned like a week later. Curious!
