About this wine
Anselmo Mendes is the man who turned Alvarinho into one of Portugal's great white grapes. Muros Antigos is his everyday expression, drawn from sun-drenched hillside vineyards on granite soils in Monção e Melgaço — the cool, rainy sub-region tucked between the Minho river and the Spanish border that gives Alvarinho its unmistakable freshness. Hand-picked, pressed whole, slow cold fermentation, three months on the fine lees with regular bâtonnage. A textbook Alvarinho at a hard-to-beat price.
Tasting notes
Bright pale gold. Pronounced citrus aromas of lemon zest and pink grapefruit. The palate is taut and saline with fine acidity, layers of green apple and stone fruit, and a long, mineral-driven finish that gives away the granite terroir.
Food pairings
Grilled white fish, Fresh oysters, Sushi and sashimi, Goat cheese salads
Best for
Easy weeknight white
