Anselmo Mendes Pardusco

Type of wine

Pardusco was the name given to the light

colored reds, with low alcohol, which

travelled well and aged well. Back in those

days they didn’t had the denomination of

Vinho Verde and later in time they started

to be known as “Mature wines of Monção”.

Vinification

Hand harvest at a perfect maturation

point. Bunches de-steemed and cold maceration.

Long and controlled fermentation

at a low temperature. Complete malolactic

fermentation.

Tasting notes

Pale ruby color. Aromas of ripe red fruit

and light spices. In the mouth it presents

a vibrant but balanced acidity. A mineral

touch conveys freshness and structure.

Pairing Suggestion

Light red wine that goes well with white

meat dishes and aged cheeses. Duck

rice, chicken stew with creamy tomatoes

and basil and turkey with herb butter

are a perfect match in the company of

Pardusco.
