Mendes & Symington Contacto Alvarinho, Vinho Verde 2024
This wine highlights everything that makes Anselmo's alvarinhos stand out. Extended skin contact (a rarity in alvarinho) adds texture and complexity, while careful ageing on fine lees enhances its creamy mouthfeel and depth. The result is a wine that is bright and electric yet layered and refined. On the nose, it’s aromatic and intense, bursting with notes of citrus zest, ripe peach, and green mango, alongside a flinty, saline edge and hints of fresh herbs and white flowers. The palate is pure and focused, balancing juicy stone fruit with a vibrant acidity and a lightly chalky grip, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish with a subtle touch of Atlantic salinity. This is serious alvarinho, capable of ageing but utterly delicious now. Whether paired with seafood or enjoyed on its own, it’s a wine that reminds you why this grape is one of Portugal’s finest.
