VINEVINU Genese Alvarinho
Grape varieties: Alvarinho.
Vinification: Made from grapes harvested by hand on the mountainside. The winemaking process involves a careful blend of slow fermentation in stainless steel vats with partial malolactic fermentation.
Aging: Ageing in stainless steel on the lees and 20 per cent in Mixtus barrels (exclusive barrels made from a blend of woods from different sources).
Colour: Lemon yellow.
Aroma: Deep, austere and complex, with the focus on the purity of the mountain fruit and the mineral character of the terroir, without any overpowering influence from the oak.
Flavour: Fresh, well-rounded, very structured and with remarkable length. It displays excellent harmony and structure on the palate, revealing great potential for development and ageing.
Serve: 10 to 12⁰
Consumption: Immediate or storage.
Harmonisation: Firm-textured baked fish dishes, rich shellfish and medium-aged sheep’s or goat’s milk cheeses.
