Anselmo Mendes Parcela Única MAGNUM

Type of wine

White wine made from grapes of Alvarinho

variety coming from a single plot which

produces a wine that reveals Alvarinho at

its purest and most original state.

Vinification

Handpicked grapes into small boxes and

carried to the winery in a short period of

time. Very soft pressing of the whole destemmed

grapes. Long cold clarication.

Fermentation in new 400-litre French

oak barrels. Ageing in these barrels for

9 months with bâtonnage on the whole

lees. 12 months ageing in bottle.

Tasting notes

Complexe and austere nose. Hints of wild

owers and hay along with a delicate

minerality remembering wet stone. Some

hazelnut and vanilla coming from the oak

fermentation and aging. On the palate a

refreshing acidity and verticality. A touch

of smoke ending long and elegant.
