Firmamento Alvarinho Branco

Description

This Firmamento Alvarinho is a wine that makes you feel like time has simply paused – a truly captivating experience. Rooted in the granite terroir of Monção and Melgaço, the sun’s exposure imparts a remarkable, singular character. Initially a touch austere on the nose, it unfolds with delightful notes of damask, tilia, and a curious fondness for wet stone, which, I must admit, is remarkably pleasing. On the palate, vibrant citrus – lemon, orange, tangerine – is balanced by the refreshing touch of grapefruit and pineapple, all underpinned by a beautifully structured acidity. A complex and versatile wine, perfect with sushi or bolder, spiced dishes – it certainly doesn’t shy away from a bit of adventurous pairing!
