Muralhas de Moncão Vinho Verde – 750ML

WS 90

Tasting Notes

The Vinho Verde region in northern Portugal has become known for slightly fizzy, fruity whites. This delicious wine is a little different. Still easy-going and refreshing, it offers no fizziness and a bit more crisp acidity. A high-quality wine for the price, you?ll find pronounced notes of stone fruit with hints of lemon zest.

Winemaking Information

In 1958, 25 winemakers formed the Adega Cooperativa e Regional de Monção. Today, there are more than 1,720 grapegrowers associated with the cooperative. Operating out of northwestern Portugal’s Minho region and within the prized subzone Monção e Melgaço, the winemakers successfully marry quality and value in this bright white. The Alvarinho (85 percent) and Trajadura (15 percent) grapes for this blend are sourced entirely from the area. It is then fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly in bottle prior to release. 15,500 cases made, 10,000 cases imported.

Wine Spectator

90 Points // There's a flinty underpinning to this fragrant white, which shows a succulent range of ripe apricot, blood orange, white blossoms, lemon peel and pickled ginger. Sleek and linear, with a hint of saline on the finish. Alvarinho and Trajadura. Drink now. 15,500 cases made, 10,000 cases imported.
