Why it's on our shelf
I first encountered Anselmo Mendes at a tasting in Lisbon — he's something of a legend in Portugal, the man who almost single-handedly put Monção e Melgaço on the map as a serious wine region. This sparkling is his most unexpected wine: 100% Alvarinho made in the classic method, second fermentation in bottle, zero dosage. No other region does this with Alvarinho. I stock it because it answers a question I get asked often: something sparkling that isn't Champagne and isn't Prosecco.
