Cortinha Velha Alvarinho About Lias 2022

In the prestigious Cambeses area of ​​Monção, the Covas cousins ​​continue the tradition of generations in producing classic Vinho Verde wines, focused mainly on the great expression of the Alvarinho grape variety. The care and attention to detail of this small family business permeates every decision in the vineyard, in the cellar and in the impeccable presentation of its wines and sparkling wines. Production is extremely limited, approximately 15,000 bottles/year, defended with passion and knowledge by Sara and Pedro, and now by the pioneering team of terroir wines at Temple Wines!

Wine:
Only 1,300 bottles of this Alvarinho were produced using a reductive process, where it ages on its lees for 12 months in stainless steel. The fruit is discreet, while the acidity and minerality vibrate much louder.
