Mendes & Symington, Contacto, Monção e Melgaço, Vinho Verde, Portugal 2024

A fine expression of Alvarinho, with elegant expressiveness, seductive restraint and beautiful texture. Gentle floral notes (chamomile, jasmine, cherry blossom) hover elegantly over crunchy pear and pineapple. Underneath, cooling wet stone reveals the structure and strong mineral backbone. Sprinkled abundantly with lime zest and pear peel. Lingers on the palate with a flinty grip and flinty freshness.
