🏡 Winemaking & Story

Produced in the iconic Vinho Verde DOC of northern Portugal, this Alvarinho comes from carefully selected vineyards that benefit from cool Atlantic influences and mineral-rich soils. The “Escolha” (Selection) designation reflects higher quality fruit and more attentive winemaking, with a mix of stainless-steel fermentation and partial lees aging to add texture and finesse.
