Wine Making
Wine Making
Afluente Alvarinho 2023 is crafted from handpicked Alvarinho grapes sourced from Monção, with only the best grapes selected for optimal ripeness and quality. The grapes undergo total de-stemming followed by light cold settling. Fermentation takes place in used French barrels without temperature control, allowing for natural expression. The wine is aged on total lees in the same barrels for 7 months, adding texture and complexity, followed by an additional 4 months of bottle aging to refine its character. This method emphasizes the unique terroir of Monção and Melgaço while maintaining vibrant acidity and a structured profile.
