A red Vinho Verde from Anselmo Mendes! This red blend is made using three black grapes native to the region: Alvarelhão, Pedral, and Cainho.
Anselmo Mendes is recognized not only for the excellence of the wines he produces but also for the surprising and consistent way he innovates. Combining the use of age-old techniques, such as fermentation on skins, with bold winemaking methods such as the fermentation of Alvarinho in oak casks, he is established in Portugal and abroad with an original design and his own identity. Anselmo Mendes wines are the result of a long, faithful connection to the land, an experimentalist and studious spirit and a philosophy of respect for the ecosystem that translates into methods of integrated production. He is widely regarded as the best producer of white wines in Portugal.
750 mlThis delicate, enticing red is a blend of Alvarelhão, Pedral, and Cainho, all indigenous red varietals. On the nose, it's distinguished by its spicy and mineral notes, complemented by aromas of strawberries, raspberries, and cherries, which impart a refreshing quality. On the palate, it's light and vibrant, with soft tannins that make it almost too easy to drink. Perfect for serving slightly chilled, it's a quintessential summer red, a nice match for grilled fish, charcuterie, and spaghetti carbonara.
