This Anselmo Mendes Curtimenta is a truly immersive experience, chasing the very soul of Alvarinho. Hand-harvested grapes from vines boasting over a decade of history in Monção and Melgaço are carefully macerated with the skins for extended periods – a delightfully indulgent technique that delivers intense colour and character. Following fermentation in used French oak barrels, a nine-month *bâtonnage* – stirring the lees – adds remarkable complexity. Anselmo himself suggests a fifteen-year ageing potential, promising a journey of flavours best enjoyed alongside fresh seafood or grilled white fish.
